  • Premiere: Loner Deluxe – Tin Foil Hat

    March 19, 2021 - By 

    One of the busiest creators in the scene, Keith Wallace splits his time making music as Loner Deluxe and running West Coast micro-independent label Rusted Rail. Taking in both realms, March 5th saw the release of Field Recordings, a wonderfully genre-spanning, 14-track release – Loner Deluxe’s third full-length to date – that reveals Wallace’s knack for lo-fi songwriting that curveballs at every turn. Today we’re pleased to present a first look at the video for LP highlight ‘Tin Foil Hat’. In Wallace’s own words, The music video for the UFO-paranoia themed-song is a joint-production between Rusted Rail and longtime videographic…

  • Loner Deluxe – Songs I Taped Off The Radio

    August 8, 2017 - By 

    The only way to discover something truly new in music is to experience it without any preconceptions as to what it could encompass. Remove all your expectations, clear your mind of any niggling biases, shut yourself off from any stimuli that could interfere and truly immerse yourself. It’s advice we could all do well to follow, but when the occasional press release promises the birthplace of a brand new genre it’s near impossible to stop your mind spinning with all possibilities of what’s about to happen. Songs I Taped Off The Radio, the second album by Galway-based Loner Deluxe does…

  • Watch: Loner Deluxe – Summer Song

    July 20, 2017 - By 

    The music-making moniker of Galway indie maestro and Rusted Rail founder Keith Wallace AKA Loner Deluxe is an appellation that strongly hints at the willfully – and wonderfully – introspective nature of his craft. Conjuring the likes of early-to-mid 90s era material on Slumberland, Misplaced Music and Fluff Records via a prism of Beta Band, Grandaddy and hints of Nick Drake, new single ‘Summer Song’ is a blithe, lo-fi instrumental taken from both the recent Loner Deluxe/A Lilac Decline split, as well as the new Loner Deluxe album, Songs I Taped Off The Radio. Stream and/or order that on cassette here. Shot in…
