After recently announcing their collaborative EP, Ryan Hemsworth and Lucas are back today to share the second single from Taking Flight. The EP, which will be coming out via Ryan’s Secret Songs, will be the first body of his own work that he will be releasing on the label.

Secret Songs has become an online home for celebrating friends’ art and a place for highlighting under heard voices in music. Free downloads, friends only, bi-weekly. It’s actually how Lucas and Ryan first worked together — Lucas released his song “Keep U Warm” as Secret Songs 008. The two took their creative partnership to the next level after bonding over their similar tastes in soundscapes and textures. You can now hear the second offering from Taking Flight, “From Grace”, on the Secret Songs SoundCloud.

Taking Flight will be available for free and via digital retailers on October 9th.Lucas is an emerging artist currently residing in Seattle, Washington. Active since 2013, he has released via outlets such as Secret Songs, and Live for the Funk. Drawing inspiration from ambient music, scavenged sounds, and modern hip hop production, Lucas strives to achieve a unique, yet approachable sound in an increasingly competitive musical landscape. Sampling is key and nothing is off limits; he spends hours digging around websites and obscure Youtube videos, searching for an interesting vocal clip or percussive sample. Lucas then uses these sounds in his productions, combining them with his own library of drum samples and instruments. As a result, his music often sounds ethereal and textured, with a healthy backbone of 808 kicks and crisp snares.
