█▒█
█▓█ Louie Austen, the Kitty-Yo lounge lizard, has been travelling through
█▓█ almost every continent - USA, Europe, Asia and Australia -
█▓█ discovering a new world of his own. After touring excessively a huge
█▓█ number of clubs and venues in the big metropoles the great entertainer
█▓█ finally came home to spend some time in the studio again, recording a
█▓█ new album with the Austrian Cheap Label guys Patrick Pulsinger and
█▓█ Mario Neugebauer in Vienna.
█▓█
█▓█ After releasing "Consequences" (1999) und "Only Tonight" (2001)
█▓█ including the Club-Hit-Singles "Amore" & "Hoping" now Louie Austen is
█▓█ due to put out his third album named "Easy Love". Meanwhile being at
█▓█ the age of 56 he is able to look back on a life full of different
█▓█ experiences: remember, Louie started in the 70ies with a superb
█▓█ education at the Vienna academy of classsical music before leaving
█▓█ Europe in order to follow the musical track of the famous Rat Pack
█▓█ with almost 20 year of touring in the US.
█▓█
█▓█ Regarding this, it's even more fascinating that the classical artist
█▓█ Louie Austen is able to get engaged with all the sound experiments of
█▓█ the Cheap-boys Mario and Patrick with such authenticity and easyness.
█▓█ And all this results in an amazingly homogeneous and new piece of
█▓█ music including a wide range of elements such as Easy Listening, 80ies
█▓█ Disco, Dub, Dance, HipHop, House, Jazz, and Big Band.
█▓█
█▓█ A reason for this can surely be found in Louie's touring all over the
█▓█ world. Performing at the most various locations he learned about and
█▓█ was inspired by a lot of variations of electronic music. It was a
█▓█ challenge to him to expand his repertoire and always to discover new
█▓█ musical genres mixing them with his very own Louie style. Together
█▓█ with Pulsinger und Neugebauer his aim was to advance in style with
█▓█ style.
█▓█
█▓█ This means not forgetting the classical songwriting compositions which
█▓█ are suitable for performances with his old Swing Band fellas; songs
█▓█ which correspond to Louie's voice and his way of interpreting; finally
█▓█ creating an unusual and unique interaction/interplay between Louie
█▓█ Austen, the cosmopolitan master of ceremonies, and Louie Austen, the
█▓█ experimental modernist.
█▓█
█▓█ In this context the exciting colloboration between Louie's longtime
█▓█ companion Tibor Barkoczy form Hungary and the Vienna producer team has
█▓█ to be mentioned. The pianist, composer and bandleader Tibor did an
█▓█ outstanding job integrating melodies and lyrics, which he and Louie
█▓█ created some time ago, into the eclectic electronic music of
█▓█ Neugebauer and Pulsinger.
█▓█
█▓█ For the last four years Louie has been visitor and curious observer of
█▓█ a subculture whose characteristics are the fast pace of life today and
█▓█ which is constantly in flux. A generation searching permanently for
█▓█ new challenges, unconventional ways of life, and, of course, for
█▓█ itself. Taking this up, Louie tries authentically to give an
█▓█ understanding of the essentials of life with his charasmatic and
█▓█ charming character.
█▓█
█▓█ The crooner of Vienna sings with his strong but nonetheless smooth
█▓█ voice about the eternal game of seducing, about leaving someone and
█▓█ being left, hurting and missing each other. These are the truths in
█▓█ life and love, and one truely believes Louie not only singing about
█▓█ them but also understanding them.
█▓█
█▓█ A lot of songs on this album describe this change. They are a kind of
█▓█ register of Louie's observations; they show Louie's emotional sympathy
█▓█ of situations in life which consist of a framework of contradictions.
█▓█ The collaboration with Irene Lavine on Desire is a good exampple here.
█▓█ Being for quite a few years part of the environment of Cheap Records
█▓█ Irene Lavine can be called a master of Spoken Word. She produced
█▓█ Showroom Recordings, Restaurant Tracks, to mention only a few.
█▓█
█▓█ The last track on the album - "Where will it all end" was composed
█▓█ last autumn. It was a time when Louie was not very pleased with the
█▓█ poltical situation in the world and already worried about things to
█▓█ come. This is probably one of Louie's most personal songs expressing
█▓█ honestly his fear and anxiety facing a potential war. The composition
█▓█ was rearranged by Patrick Pulsinger and recorded with jazz musicians
█▓█ of high reputation: Werner Dafeldecker on bass, Franz Hauzinger
█▓█ playing the trumpet, and Florian Sokol on saxophone.
█▓█
█▓█ On "Danger" Louie was supported by George Ogunleye of the Aphrodelics.
█▓█ Mario Neugebauer tried to create a partly fluent, partly thrilling
█▓█ mood with strings inspiring the modern aspect of the song, with a
█▓█ little nostalgia and the hip hop beat being an antipole to LouieÆs
█▓█ strong voice.
█▓█
█▓█ Dr. Louie Love, Mr. Easy Austen:
█▓█
█▓█ This album asks for more easyness in everybody to cross one's own
█▓█ borders and microcosmos; expresses astonishment and admiration about
█▓█ the ability of self criticizm; warns of a maybe too big laxness in
█▓█ important decisions.
█▓█
█▓█ It's a bow for the generation which enabled Louie to start again and
█▓█ again the field of music doing it in his own special way.
█▓█ Louie Austen is easy to love!
