LOUIE AUSTEN FT. SEÑOR COCONUT - REALITY EP 12"/CD Remember the French La Boum movies from the 80s? Then you remember Sophie Marceau as teenager Vic on that party in the strobe light dancing frantically to Murky Turkey when suddenly the strange dark-haired guy she´s been eyeing for some time comes over and puts headphones over her ears and she turns around and they slowly dance to the headphone music only the both of them can hear? Yes, my friends – we´re talking „Reality“ by Richard Sanderson. The favourite makeout song of Europeans which got famous as the „Schieber“ dance. For the real tropical cover deal Louie teamed up with Señor Coconut & his Orchestra. Finally the world´s only German/Chilean electrolatino is collaborating with the world´s only Austrian electrocrooner, it was just meant to be.The one who came up with the idea of covering the song in the first place was Viennese DJ and producer Christopher Just. He´s been haunted by „Reality“ for ages and one day he had the idea of that cover but he was in need of a singer - then Louie Austen came over and said „Hey man, consider me the voice! I love that song!“ – said and done & the result is this fine EP! |

LOUIE AUSTEN - SUMMER LOVE EP Whereas on the last album , “Iguana”, there have already been traces of tropicalia – electro crooning Louie Austen has developed an appetite for salsa and rumba and delved into the subject so the summer EP reeks of all styles of Latin muzak - blended with the usual housy beats and zest for life. „Coconut Girl“ is 50s and a wink with the eye, hip swinging and with the notorious trademark Ol´ Blue Eyes Sinatra voice. On the next track Louie is confessing his love for the Spanish capital & metropolis Barcelona supported by an army of brass players. Both tracks have been written and recorded with Viennese Mosquito Factory, the project of the musicians Gregor "Saiko" Nezval and Robert Rehak whom Louie already cooperated with on a song named „Perfect Day“. `The please is mine` and „Won´t you give me a chance, I´m a real nice guy“ currs Louie on the ultra-relaxed tingling courtship number „Summer Love“, produced by Gollini and Bernd Rausch. „Brazil“ is a downwards cool swinging hymn all playful and with lyrics as versatile and insightful as „Life is so simple – life in Brazil“ and „I love her tits and her ass.“ Producer credits for that one are in the hands of Thomas Mora and Valentin Oman. |
