Look Up

Description

Look Up is an album by the American singer and songwriter Jonathan Rundman, independently released on Salt Lady Records in January 2015. The album was produced, recorded, and mixed by Matt Patrick at The Library Recording Studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota .

‘Look Up’ is the anticipated new release from Minneapolis-based singer/songwriter Jonathan Rundman, his first album of all new songs since 2004. His ten year hiatus was spent caring for his newborn children and exploring his Finnish heritage by playing Nordic folk music. With the guidance of ace producer Matt Patrick, Rundman turns in a hi-fi power-pop tour de force, nacked by a crew of young Minnesota rock virtuosos and a surprising cast of ’80s-era cult-favorite guest stars. Included in that list are Brent Bourgeois, Parthenon Huxley (The Eels and ELO), Walter Salas-Humara (The Silos), and former Audio Adrenaline (and current Leagues) guitarist Tyler Burkum. Along with Rundman’s familiar midwestern rock, power pop amalgam is a bit of the current synthesizer pop that populates Taylor Swift’s 1989 album. Rundman is a practicing Lutheran who writes songs about his family and everyday life as seen through the lens of faith. Any fans of great 80’s college artists like The Replacements, The Shoes, Marshall Crenshaw or Elvis Costello will love the compact, tuneful pop rock on ‘Look Up’.
