Louise Aubrie is a relic from the past with a fresh attitude. This is a very good place to be. Listening to her album Late 44 is like taking a trip down memory lane. With a voice that reminds you of both Blondie and Belinda Carlisle and songs that make you recall early Go Gos (the Gos Gos weren't always sugary sweet), this album is something of a tribute to the past while pushing the past into the future. Not really sure how old Louise is, but she certainly has a grasp of the 80s and what music was like at that time. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this isn't fresh. In fact, Louise has managed to take the best of the 80s music scene and turn it into something that sounds strong and valid today.
The first song on the album, Masterstroke, is a master opening number. It opens with a quick killer guitar riff and then changes pace as the vocals come in. You immediately realize you're listening to someone who can sing. You also realize you're listening to something that is at once familiar yet new.
Louise Aubrie is everything that's good about the new independent movement in music. She plays a type of music that might not be given a chance today by stuffy record companies that believe they know what the public wants to hear.
Please Don't Touch is my favorite track on the album with its driving drum opening and heavy guitar chords. Other standout tracks include Next to Nothing, The Perfect Battle Cry, and the soothing mid tempo ballad Candlelight.
All of the songs on the album were composed by Louise, which is impressive enough. Her lyrical depth and the melodies are inspiring. Her band is highly skilled. Late 44 is a perfect storm you won't mind getting caught up in.
This is an album you can spend your money on knowing it will be listened to regularly.

Bio:
Louise Aubrie is a London-born musician who splits her time between her hometown and New York City, bringing together indie post-punk roots with rock and pop melodies. Louise first started recording music at the famed Mill Hill Music Complex in London, and then over many years in New York surrounded herself by the best musicians in the city to establish her signature sound.
Writing all her own material, Louise recorded her highly anticipated third album, ‘Late 44’, in March 2015 at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London, England. Further recording and mixing was at Knight Time Studios, the studio originally commissioned by Steve Lillywhite. The album features Tom Edwards (Adam Ant), Joe Holweger, David Ruffy (The Ruts, Adam Ant, Dexy's Midnight Runners) and Boz Boorer (Morrissey, The Polecats). It is produced by James Knight (The Kooks, Leona Lewis, Ellie Goulding) and was mastered by Denis Blackham at Skye Mastering. It will be released in summer 2015.
Louise's debut album, ‘Fingers Crossed...’, was released in 2010 to critical acclaim in both the UK and the US, receiving national radio airplay. The album was produced and engineered by Boz Boorer, who is regarded world-over as one of the pioneers of the British Rockabilly movement, and the long-term co-writer and musical director for Morrissey. The album was mixed by Cam Blackwood at Voltaire Road studios in London, who has worked with Florence and The Machine and Cee Lo Green, and was mastered by Dave Collins Audio in Los Angeles, former Chief Mastering Engineer of A&M Studios, and who has worked with Madonna, No Doubt and The Police.
In March 2013, Louise released her second album, ‘Time Honoured Alibi’. Louise worked with the same team on this new record, with Mr. Boorer once more at the helm, both as producer and as a co-writer with Louise on a new track. The lead-off single was the indie-pop track“Where Are You”, which featured in the Top 5 of Digital Radio Tracker’s National US Airplay Independent Charts and in the Top 10 most requested at Indie 104 iRadio LA. Since its release, the album has been picked up by a number of Commercial, Non-Commercial and College Radio Stations, and continues to be added to more playlists every month.
