Last October, I was watching David Arquette’s directorial debut The Tripper on DVD,and in the middle of this campy-ass slasher film was Lukas Haassinging a dreamy little ballad called "Kemp" to Jaime King. (Watch him perform it live below). Obviously, it stayedwith me, because when I got a press release yesterday announcing that Haas had just released a self-titled EP with Pulse Recording, produced by Tim Anderson of Ima Robot, the first thing I did was look to see if "Kemp" was on it. It is, along with was the songs "My Shooting Star," "We’re All the Same," and "Feel." (Download the EP on iTunes or Amazon, hear the tracks on his MySpace page.)
Haas is set to release a full album in early 2009, so take a listen and tell us how likely you’ll be to accept actor Lukas Haas as a singer-songwriter. I’m not usually one to encourage crossovers, but he’s done his relatively quietly* and I’ve yet to be annoyed, so I’ll do my best to keep an open mind.
* I forgot that he’d been in a band called Bunny with Vincent Gallo, and I had no idea that he’s opened for Macy Gray and played piano on her albums, or that he’s performed with OutKast on Letterman and TRL, or that his father played the violin and his mother sang opera.
I like it – both the music and the idea of him as a musician… I’m giving my possibilities of liking him long-term a 9. My scale of non-musicians who have recording careers is 1: Jennifer Lopez to 10: Jenny Lewis. Danielle Briesbois is floating around in there at around a 6.
I’m usually not a fan of the crossover either, but I’ve loved Lukas Haas – one of those rare quietly successful child actors all grown up. I’d definitely check out his cd.
He’s also in the UGK/OutKast video for “International Playa’s Anthem” as one of Andrew 3000′s best men!!
Started off (and mostly) a bit tweecore for my taste, but with a nice finish and good overall chops, I approve. Especially considering he wrote it too.
hmm…I don’t know…
I mean, the melody was nice, and his voice seems pretty sweet, but like, the lyrics didn’t seem, I guess, heavy enough for me. I might check it out after reading the reviews though
Something very unique about his style… I’ve always loved him as an actor and his music has that same special quality… I’ll definitely check out his cd…
I don’t usually like crossovers… but I really like these songs… Wasn’t he in the Death Cab for Cutie video “Cath”?
