The River Only Flows One Way is the third album by Liverpool songwriter Luke O’Hanlon — a career-best collection of intimate, lo-fi meditations on grief, addiction, love, memory, and identity.

Written and recorded over two years, the album features no collaborators: every instrument, every lyric, every sound is O’Hanlon’s alone. The result is raw, honest, and hauntingly beautiful — drawing inspiration from artists like John Darnielle, Phoebe Bridgers, Jeffrey Lewis, and MJ Lenderman.

These are songs about ghosts, water, aging, dislocation, and belief. About how we change, and how we don’t.

The River Only Flows One Way

Stevie

A summary of what has been written and said; what I had hoped to explain. This little journey from the start of 2025 to this point in time, a few words written, said.  A few dreams come true. There are meaningful anniversaries around this time of year, and memories of the good times of love and loss and longing.
This all culminates with One Night In Bilbao, when we finally win something. Dreams come true and then we sack Ange for doing what he said he would do. 
And so another chapter begins with a Dane in charge, and a Scandinavian theme continues, just by chance I'm sure.

Starfields and Empty Streets

I make no claims about the sounds I make, this is merely  my experiences , my reality, my propaganda , all put to a soundtrack .

I am not a musician and can’t sing. I have the instruments and a voice and I choose to use it all as I see fit. I know my limitations. I am just an observer, a scientist.

I do not seek to learn an art but create an atmosphere. Make the rules up as you go along; half of life is fucking up, the other half is dealing with it.

I do not want any compromise or dilution.
This is pure.
