Review: 'Aubrie, Louise'
'Late 44'   

-  Album: 'Late 44' -  Label: 'RDJ Recordings'
-  Genre: 'Pop'

Our Rating:
While pop has come to be largely synonymous with manufactured, production-line music with little soul and even less content, cooked up by teams of writers and farmed out to slick, engineered puppet performers, or otherwise connotes reproduction 80s synth music, Louise Aubrie offers pop inspired by a vintage less commonly heard in 2016.

Drawing on the likes of Blondie and The Ramones, Late44 is packed to the brim with concise guitar-driven pop songs. But these are songs you can believe in: they’re real, and have a punky bite to them.

Obviously, Louise’s songwriting and strong vocals are key, but the musicians she’s got playing the songs is also a factor: guitarist Tom Edwards has played with Adam Ant, Roddy Frame and Edwyn Collins; bassist Joe However is also an Ant, and the songs are propelled by the drumming of David Ruffy of The Ruts. Morrissey sidekick Boz Boorer is also drafted in to add additional guitar on half of the tracks, and his distinctive sound brings an additional dimension to the songs.
