Louise Rutkowski (born 1964) is a Scottish singer who rose to prominence as part of the 4AD music project This Mortal Coil.
Following a hiatus from recording of Kate Bush proportions, Louise Rutkowski releases 'Mimi', the first of several 'taster tracks', and the product of a writing partnership with Glaswegian musician Irvin Duguid.
'Mimi' has been mixed by Calum Malcolm, recording engineer with The Blue Nile, and marks a return to the writing of original material by Louise since her music career began in the soul-influenced band Sunset Gun in the 1980s.
I remember visiting London when I’d just met Irvin and was listening to the bare bones of "Float", one of the album tracks, and trying to come up with something.
Much as the This Mortal Coil albums were for a lot of fans that have spoken to me over the years, the music should accompany whatever is going on for that person, and hopefully make it easier for them, or help them to come to conclusions.
