Louise Burns is a Canadian singer/songwriter from British Columbia who started her career as part of the teenage pop-punk band <a href="spotify:artist:00hKB8cu5lyBE35ilxyP7v">Lillix</a>, then later forged an interesting and versatile solo career in the 2010s that ranged from jangling indie pop to new wave, jazz, country, and vivid synth pop. Following her Polaris-nominated Young Mopes LP, she closed out the decade with her fourth solo album, 2019's Portraits.
After getting her start as an 11-year-old bassist/vocalist in the all-female teen pop-punk combo <a href="spotify:artist:00hKB8cu5lyBE35ilxyP7v">Lillix</a>, Burns moved on when the band splintered in the mid-2000s. She began working as a solo artist and also joined the alt-rock trio <a href="spotify:artist:62Fe3P5EncgqCVGYEY3HkU">the Blue Violets</a>. Her first solo record, Mellow Drama, was released in 2011 by Vancouver-based <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Light+Organ+Records%22">Light Organ Records</a>. On it Burns explored various styles, ranging from smoky jazz ballads and country laments to jangly girl group-inspired pop. Her next album, 2013's Midnight Mass, was co-produced by <a href="spotify:artist:3LTXHU3DhiYzGIgF2PP8Q8">the Raveonettes</a>' <a href="spotify:artist:3x0AYTwu5xlvORnoDKPnLb">Sune Rose Wagner</a> and featured songs driven by Burns' love of '80s synth pop. In 2017, she returned with her third full-length, Young Mopes, which featured backing from <a href="spotify:artist:0E8jgydjFlZHgqVKFAVQ4M">Ladyhawk</a>'s Darcy Hancock and Ryan Peters. A critical success, it was long-listed for Canada's prestigious Polaris Award. 2019's Portraits was a tightly focused pop effort which explored themes of looking back and embracing the past. ~ Tim Sendra, Rovi
