From each self-released recording to the next, often only months apart, tone and subject matter shift wildly, though woven throughout Luno's surprisingly ecclectic body of work, issues of patriotism vs. nationalism, politics vs. religion, and religion vs. sexuality are explored in uncompromising fashion with the humor, compassion and intensity that are the artist's stock in trade.
Listen as Luno assumes and discards personae ranging from a myriad of disaffected youth (see 2003's Kid,) to a middle aged woman in the midst of pregnancy scare (2004's New England,) to his most compelling turn as a tormented San Francisco hustler turned burlesque performer (2007's Music for Drunken Anti-socialites.).
