Album Notes

Review by Southeast Performer Magazine...

Reviewer -Monica Arrington
With a crystal like voice, Louise Mosrie presents to us her newest release, Separated like Stars. This is a collection of diverse tunes sprinkled with an acoustic pop sensibility. Yet the acoustic part is only an anchor for the songs, as she expands the music into lovely cinematic arrangements better than any major label could churn out. Mosrie's voice is a lot like Harriet Wheeler's from the British dream pop group The Sundays, but her music is far more grounded and gutsy. Like in "Has Been" or "Real Me," Mosrie includes
jazz and folk into her catchy sound. Or while listening to "One of the Lonely Ones" the country flare comes shining through. This recording only slows down nearly toward the end with the expressive solo, "Riverman." In this song the strength of the entire CD is heard as her glowing voice becomes entangled with the acoustic guitar. The following tunes, though orchestrated into rock band format, are clearly guided by this intimate setting. Mosrie creates a more eclectic type of dreaminess and thus a wonderful recording.
