Corner of An Endless Road Douban

Lior is a musician whose music gives more than it takes, offering a spiritually enriching experience for all involved and a reminder of a time when the music came first, and everything else was secondary. Autumn Flow became one of the most successful independent debuts in Australian history, garnering Lior three ARIA nominations (including Best Male Artist) and a swag of other awards, including a prestigious Triple J 'J Award' nomination for Album Of The Year. Autumn Flow has now sold well beyond 50,000 copies. The songs on Lior's second album 'Corner Of An Endless Road' are intensely personal and candid. They represent landmarks in the emotional journey throughout the last two years of Lior's career and life. Lior worked closely with producer Francois Tetaz at matching the emotional range of the songs with musical choices that intimately represent who he is, as a musician and a person. The album has collaborations with artists such as internationally renowned Sia and oud player Joseph Tawadros, and includes string orchestras and brass ensembles.
'Corner of an Endless Road' is a true representation of Lior's musical landscape; think Led Zeppelin jamming with Nick Drake at a teahouse somewhere in the Middle East.

Lior's sound is a rootsy mix of styles that always harks back to the lyric and melody. The album itself is grounded in the late 60's / early 70's songwriter era, however the arrangements and production approach are quite contemporary. Artists such as Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, Nick Drake and Rufus Wainwright are called to mind. It is Lior's voice that has drawn most attention, capable of both power and tenderness, always delivered with soul in its truest sense.
