French Import | Australian singer-songwriter Louisa John-Krol has a background as professional storyteller, her Welsh father was himself a specialist in Celtic myths. In her new album Louisa brings us in a feline universe through the myth of cats, sphinx, tigers and other mythological creatures. As said an Irish Legend 'A cat's eyes are windows...into another world', Louisa imagines and creates this new world, an ethereal & mysterious land.
Louisa's soprano swoops through pieces that meld folk, progressive pop, electronica and new age in inventive and pleasing ways. LJK reminds one of Loreena McKennitt and Kate Bush. Like those women, she composes with her wild muse wherever it leads her using her mandolin, guitar and many other instruments ocarina, gong, Tibetan chimes, xylophone, piano-tuba...Other instruments include harp, charango, hammered dulcimer, flute, bass and bowed psaltery. Musicians/producers are Harry Williamson and Brett Taylor, with guests Dandelion Wine, Theodore Wohng, Samantha Taylor and Keltia.
