News of Louise Rutkowski's new album

Since the digital download release of ‘Mimi’ in April last year, ex-This Mortal Coil and The Hope Blister vocalist Louise Rutkowski has been working with co-writer Irvin Duguid on her new album. It is nearing completion, and in order to get to the release stage Louise is launching a fundraising campaign with Pledge Music. Part of the Pledge manifesto is to donate to a charity chosen by the artist and Louise has chosen Attitude is Everything, who work tirelessly to improve access to music for deaf and disabled people.

To get the ball rolling Louise is offering a free track, It’s Time, mixed and mastered by Calum Malcolm. To get it, go to Louise's website and click on the download button in the Pledge widget that you’ll see on the home page.

Release of “Angel” by Waves on Canvas, Psychonavigation Records, Dublin 

I have collaborated with a wonderful musician and artist in Italy and this is the result! Stefano Guzzetti contacted me as a TMC fan and I loved his own music and website (see www.stefanoguzzetti.com), so we did an artistic exchange: I sang on this track and he made the video for “Mimi” – perfect! I hope to work more with Stefano in the future so watch this space! The release has 4AD connections, with the artwork being done by Vaughan Oliver and a remix by John Fryer. It wasn’t intentional, but just happened that way, which is nice. I hope you like it.

New Album

This is progressing well and Irvin and me have been busy writing new material which we’re delighted with. I’ll be launching a Pledge Music campaign soon, so will keep you posted on that. This will be to raise the funds we need to put towards recording, manufacturing, and promotion. You can read more about Pledge at: www.pledgemusic.com. As ever, a big thank you to those of you who keep in touch and are endlessly patient on the emergence of this record!

Rock On, Louise
