| Short Bio About the Band: | Bay Area native LOUIZA is one of indie music’s best rising pop singer-songwriters. She's released several albums, including Party Trick, Swim at Night, On, Off, White Light, Blood, Sweat, Rinse, Repeat and continues to receive glowing press for her music. Her discography questions and captures the spectrum of human essence in all its playfulness, boldness, and beauty. LOUIZA's forthcoming EP, Like a Queen, revisits an idea posed in White Light: that we are able to hold a spectrum of feelings the way white light is able to hold a spectrum of colors, all at the same time. Like a Queen acts as a prism for LOUIZA's experience of grief. Each song represents a shade or phase of processing loss. "Like the Moon" reveals a desire to abandon this life and start over. "Now I Don't Know How" invokes a pervasive listlessness. LOUIZA identifies her sound as alt-pop with a grunge hiss. Fans have likened her to a Kurt Cobain and Joni Mitchell love-child. Her influences include early St Vincent, Paper Castles era Alice Phoebe Lou and Wye Oak. Her voice carries range and emotionality like Elizabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins) and bares an oboe-like depth via Natalie Mering (Weyes Blood). |
