CMU Approved
Approved: Louiza
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 5 October 2017
Louiza is the latest guise of musician Rebecca Mimiaga, under which she releases her debut album, ‘Party Trick’, next month.
In stark contrast to the sound of the more classic singer-songwriter style EP she released under her own name in 2015, Louiza’s music is unapologetically experimental, often aggressive and cathartically rhythmic.
The album’s title track is 1990s indie rock filtered through 1970s Carole King and then back through a night out so bad it needs lyrics written about it.
New single ‘Leash On A Tiger’ is pulled along by lo-fi keyboards and a bassline that feels like it has taken up residence in my stomach.
