Special live show!

Luxury Stranger return to play Carpe Noctum this November – this is the first time the band have played the Leeds-based event since 2022!


The show is on Saturday 8 November at the regular Carpe Noctum event (upstairs at the Library, Leeds), and will be a co-headline with LS favourites Cold In Berlin – the two bands have shared the stage several times and despite being so different, they compliment each other very well. You can find out more about Cold In Berlin here.


Also on the bill are West Wickhams – find out more  about them here.

Physical re-releases

We're so happy to announce that several long-out of print albums have now been re-released through Earth-Two Records, over on our Bandcamp page.


You'll be able to find Precious For Evermore, Nothing Holy and (most importantly) 'Commitment And Discipline' which has been out of print for 14 years! Get yours at luxurystranger.bandcamp.com.


Also re-released today on CD by Earth-Two Records, by Simon York – Other Voices and Nothing's Ever Quite What You Thought It Would Be. Get yours at simonyork.bandcamp.com.

Earth-Two Records

Many of you will have seen the extra online push that the band's now able to get via Earth-Two Records – this is via the label's website (as well as it's socials on Facebook and Instagram), and the label's merch store.


The merch store features E2R label T-shirts (similar to how labels promoted in the 70s) and Luxury Stranger designs (some of which have been out of print for years!). Also included on the site are items promoting Simon's "Uh-Huh..." and More Than Just Movements albums, and also designs by the Lux-Strang label. Lux-Strang was originally intended to be out there from 2020 but various issues meant the project had to be put aside. Lux-Strang is aiming to reflect the 'punkier' and 'arty' side of Luxury Stranger.


Earth-Two Records was set-up in 2016 to aid with releases of Luxury Stranger and Simon York music. Head over to the  Earth-Two Records website to find out more...

STRANGEZINE

In Spring 2025, Luxury Stranger published its first fanzine!


Available for subscribers via the band's Bandcamp page, the first issue of STRANGEZINE touched on work on the new album and also featured fan-focussed articles. The idea is to try and recapture fans who have lost touch since social media has gone a little 'less social'...


Simon York says: "we were really excited by how people took to this idea – it's nothing new, it's a little nostalgic in places. It was a lot of fun putting together and taking ideas from old fanzines and old British comics. It's working and fans are loving it!" 

Above And Below

Work on the new LS album Above And Below continues... Updates on this can be found mainly on social media and, for subscribers, inside issues of the new STRANGEZINE fanzine.


Track listing for the album looks like this:

  1. Toy
  2. Transitional Thoughts
  3. The End Is Only A Whisper Away
  4. Memories Can’t Wait
