Interview with Louise Vertigo - Tom Val Records - The blog - July 2018
On the album « Les branches des arbres se soulèvent... » in 2007 :
“Louise Vertigo cultivates a universe that exists light years away from reality TV. In her world of tranquil magicians straight out of a Max Ernst painting, playful fairies mingle with skeptical monks, and noble outlaws dance with romantic phantoms, wild hens and lovesick dogs. They sometimes convene over glasses of orgeat syrup or raspberry liqueur, if not well-aged Calvados… The wind moving through it carries something pleasant and strangely timeless—so much so that listeners who measure quality variety music against artists like Bashung and women like Jeanne Moreau find themselves fervently hoping that this kind of album finds it audience. Yes, that would be less disheartening. That would be beautiful.” – Ariel Kyrou, Technicart
“The union of poetry and electro (…) Her music remains attuned to emerging trends, like the vocalist herself, at the forefront of her own emotions.” – Bruno Pfeiffer, Open Mag
On the éponymous album « Louise Vertigo » in 2001 :
“This urban squaw has just released a stunning album, a true comet in the darkened skies of French production, riding bareback on electronics and poetry. This reserved artist who spurs herself on forges an entirely new path in our musical landscape… an artist who writes, composes, and sings her songs, a considerable distinction that, beneath this album’s apparent diversity, accounts for its profound consistency and gives it, in light touches, a sensual, dreamlike, mysterious tonality that is, to put it plainly, unmistakably feminine.” – Otto Rivers, Virgin Megapresse
“In French electronic music, Louise Vertigo only works with sensual perfectionists: after Kid Loco and Zen Avesta, she’s now whispering “Blue Lagoon authentic music for jacuzzi” over Olaf Hund’s beautifully layered, silky string arrangements.” – J.D. Beauvallet, Les Inrockuptibles
“We can’t get enough of Louise Vertigo’s second album (Delabel), recorded with the electro scene elites: Olaf Hund, Kid Loco, Roudoudou, Rubin Steiner, and Léonard de Léonard.” – G.M., L'Express
“Louise Vertigo is a gorgeous, varied album. At times swaggering trip hop, like in “La route me charme”, and at others infectious, like in the effervescent “After all” and “Le Serpent et l’Oiseau”. A little gem.” – Carole Renaudin, 52 Factory
On the first album « Femme Fin de Siècle » in 1998 :
« Louise Vertigo propose un album neuf dont l'écriture musicale ne cherche pas dans le couplet-refrain pop-rock, mais dans les montées et cassures des émotions naissant du brassage de la techno et du trip hop, des mots qui ne sont pas du verbiage. Des mots qui veulent raconter une vie et pas une historiette comme autrefois. » – Blah blah, la FNAC
