Lupen Crook

Lupen Crook is a songwriter and visual artist from Chatham, United Kingdom. His work combines folk, indie and alternative elements with a direct, often uneasy sensibility, and he is described as blending beauty with harsh truth in a style marked by dark observation and wit. He also works as a DIY-minded artist, producing paintings, collage and illustrations alongside his music.

He releases a substantial body of material, including albums and EPs, largely independently through his own label, Beast Reality, as well as through UK independent labels. His releases often feature packaging that he designs and personalises himself, extending the handmade approach of his visual art into his recorded work.
