Stream "Life's a Cigarette", the New Album by Luiz e os Louises
/
Folk/indie rock solo artist Luiz e os Louises lives in a small town in Brazil and has written music since childhood. Luiz decided to go to New York to record his first album, and there he was lucky to find incredibly talented people such as producer Ben Rice, from Degraw Sound, who brought three musicians from Norah Jone´s band to play on the record: Dan Iead, Pete Remm and Greg Wieczorek.
The new album is entitled "Life's a Cigarette", and in Luiz’s own words about the release, he says,
"This is the collection of melodies that have appeared in my mind through the years, before touching any music instrument. I later struggled to turn it into an enjoyable physical product, but it is as natural as I can be. I found out about my inspiration later: the things I speak about in the record happened only after I recorded it. That was the most astonishing thing for me."
Luiz's vocal delivery sits somewhere between Lou Reed and Thurston Moore, with often dark, observational lyrics and a cautious optimism holding hands with melancholy.
