Lou Canon
Artist Bio
Since her arrival on the Canadian music landscape, Lou Canon has established a vibe steeped in style, self-assurance and effortless mystique. Her 2017 album, Suspicious, garnered significant press attention from influential outlets like Sidewalk Hustle, Globe and Mail, NOW Toronto, Vice, CBC Music and more, as well as landing on several curated Spotify and Apple Music playlists. Lou released her third studio album, Audomatic Body, worldwide on July 10th via Paper Bag Records.
Audomatic Body, opens with “The Chorus.” Mimicking the dramatic mechanism of the same name, it features most of the voices that will later be heard on the record, and starts to sketch out motifs that will resurface throughout the nine songs that follow.
“Reimagine the body,” a breathy croon echoes in the first line. “Slow down the pleasure, no protest in desire,” the modern-day chorus continues.
It’s an introduction to a collection of songs reflecting on the evolving nature of relationships; the struggle to stay together, the wax and wane of passion, the ways that sensuality can change as years go by, an ode to the human experience.
Parts of the new album were recorded with Grammy-winning producer Mark Lawson (Arcade Fire, Timber Timbre, Basia Bulat) in Montreal, while others were made in home set-ups at a little cabin in the Russian river, up north in Grey County, in Prince Edward County and in Toronto.
Audomatic Body belongs on its very own plane. Its swampy waters filled with electric eels, where natural and synthetic vibrations coalesce beneath Canon’s delicately distorted, sometimes almost-whispered vocals. Flashes of intimacy (“Next to You”), imagination (“Invisible Desire”), loss (“Sleeper Wave”) and rejuvenation (“For Life”) punctuate the entrancing set of songs — just as the voices in “The Chorus” foretold.
