Peter Gabriel, Radiohead & Lindsey Buckingham influence St. Lucia

[elle]

not a bad company...

relevant excerpt from:

NT: What influences your music the most?

JPG: Your past-- it has to be there somewhere. I think what’s influenced me the most in terms of artists are the ones that break boundaries. They go above and beyond themselves and their egos and make music that is interesting and that pushes the envelope in someway.

I love people like Peter Gabriel, Radiohead and Lindsey Buckingham. They’re more than just pop; they’re trying to do something crazy and weird. I like the idea of people that subvert people’s expectations of them.

In perfect Company. It's the same reason why I like al three artists.

I wish Lindsey was more like Michael Bolton.

I love St Lucia... but it's interesting to hear him say he is into artsy envelope-pushing artists. He makes beautiful music for sure... but it's mostly very typical electronica & rehashed 80s pop in nature. In other words, he's not doing much sonic experimentation himself.
