PRESS RELEASE : LOUIE FONTAINE NEW ALBUM EVIL LOVE
Evil Love was recorded in Black Tornado Studios in Fontaine’s native city of Copenhagen, together with the backing band Starlight Searchers.
Starting of with 40 songs, 16 songs found there way to the new album Evil Love, during the 3 week session, the album is recorded 100% analog, you will find the sound extremely comfortable and dynamic.
Louie’s voice is right up in your face and the stories told on this album, are worth digging into, it is clearly that Mr. Fontaine got what he wanted on this record, it’s meant all the way through and don`t compromise the music in anyway.
Songs like Dancing On Fire stick to your brain like glue, performed with just drums and slide guitar, the beautiful Running Hot and I Cant Resist No Pain moves into some kind of hot Mexican rocky atmosphere, with a bunch of high trompets playing along the guitar themes.The much slower country ballads Wasting Time & Today She Is Mine, two pieces of well composed music, performed extremely well, the voice is superb in these two ballads.
The albums bluesy & jazzy songs are represented with songs like I Had Enough Of You a story of a hateful relationship with a woman, who fucks around with a mechanic. Head Full Of Hate a story of a evil unfair tax department lady, ending up with the rusty voice, story telling song Six Nights.
The murderous ballad Swimming In Blood shows Mr. Fontaine’s talent of telling good stories, this time about a man who kills his wife, because he loves her to much, the words of the chorus is Kalita Kalita, which is the name of Louie’s lover at this time, who knows what happened.
Moving to the rocky part of the album Mr. Fontaine clearly show how well he manage to play Rock ’n´ Roll songs like
The World Don´t Turn, You Cant Always Love Them says it all, clean cut roots music.
The CD ends up with 2 Bonus tracks, the perverted Gang Bang Ball a real party song and another song written to Louie Fontaine by his music mentor Rockie Charles (New Orleans), who recently passed away I Got You Exited this album is dedicated to the late Mr. Charles.
To say that Evil Love is the best from Mr. Fontaine hand so far, would not be wrong to claim.
ROCK BLESS YER ALL

BLACK HORSES
Black Horses also play in their own project which is based in London and called The Briefing. Kristine is the lead singer and Yerz plays bass. Kristine Dobele performs in Black Horses using an incredible combination of the Hammond Organ, playing drums (at the same time) whilst backing Louie’s vocal in typically silky fashion. A truly busy girl! The band, though being only 3, has a wide sound with very strong vocal parts and can change its sound dramatically at the drop of a hat. They could, by some, be compared to The White Stripes in a trio version. The drums are stripped down to basics and sound very personal. All in all, it’s hard and unfair to compare with others .
Both members of the Black Horses have background in funky Jazz music and with the blend of Louie’s rock attitude, it cooks together beautifully. A band that will blow your mind!
Louie Fontaine : Gui/Voc
