Louise Burke’s ‘Artist’s Rut’ Blooms With Animated Alt Country

Louise Burke is an alt country and acoustic folk artist. Her soundscapes boast contemporary ideas and retro charms as they explore human moments and life experiences. There’s a lot of poetic and contemplative depth written into her songs. It patronizes the listener with comfort and relatability while also shedding perspective and thought. Her latest release is the ‘Artist’s Rut’ single in which she details the disparities of adulthood. Especially in the context of the deep conflict between creative ambitions and personal responsibilities. 

The instrumental performances are made entirely of acoustic strings - guitar, banjo, ukulele. And rising into them are earthy beat rhythms and Louise’s narrative vocals. There’s so much life in the song. In its rhythm, in the nuanced voice inflections, in the textures, and progressing tones. You’ll catch old school country frames vanishing into neo country and urban folk sequences. Like talking to an old friend, the song is comforting, consoling, and clarifying. Listen Now!
