"This is quite simply exquisite; sensual and beguiling in the manner – though not style – of Kate Bush, with that kind of Englishness that draws you in like a rose-scented breath. Never slipping into fey quirkiness, even with the fluttering sonic trickery that opens the majestic ‘War With Love’, all the tracks possess a quietly fierce individuality. Maybe ‘individuality’ isn’t quite the word, though, as arranger and multi-instrumentalist Louis Philippe does a magnificent job, with layered vocals and glacial piano to the fore and other instruments – guitar, bass, string quartet – adding texture as necessary." **** - Oz Hardwick, Rock'n'Reel "A triumph. The arrangements are top-flight." - Van Dyke Parks, Composer/Arranger "What she does is different from anything that is being done at the moment... Her voice is both childlike and mysterious - magic." - Michka Assayas, France Musique "exquisite... such a refreshingly original sound." - Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music "This is English music, honest and open. Louise’s songs are strange without being quirky and delivered with a settled assurance. She has the steady delivery of Judee Sill, but the harmonic flavour of Kate Bush or Robert Wyatt." - Sean O'Hagan, The High Llamas "This is called 'Be My Guru'. I think it's great.; - Guy Garvey, Lead Singer, Elbow "Not since the debut of Carly Simon have I heard a "girl" with such artistic depth and ability to write a tense series of tonal angles, all packaged quite perfectly in a neat 4 minute song-format" - Eric Matthews "The richness of the vocal, the depth of the instrumentation, always finding new things to reveal. It's just such a natural feeling album. Part dream, part cathartic, wholly inspirational songs." - Neil King, FATEA "Absolutely wonderful. What a haunting voice and an equally haunting songwriter. It's brilliant stuff, especially Be My Guru." - Fredo Viola "I have been playing Louise's absolutely beautiful and haunting songs incessantly." - Jonathan Coe, author Click on the links below to see other reviews: |
