King Tuts Your Sound Artist of the month November 2007
“Lou Hickey sounds like a female Nick Cave, creating sepia-toned vignettes of restless lives. The Glasgow singer/ songwriter is at one moment touchingly sad and broken, the next ballsy and angry. Think of a grown up Lilly Allen. A Lie is a laid-back and jazzy torch song, while the piano led Does It Get Easier? is a superb break-up song mixing smoky jazz with rock rhythms and wail of a violin. It also boasts the lyrics "I can watch the dust settle on our love". Now that’s poetry.” Daily Record
“Her smoky vocals are perfectly suited to the old world glamour of Club Noir” The List
“Bittersweet piano-driven songs with a dramatic edge” The List
“Acclaimed singer/songwriter” Evening Times
“Her melodies ooze atmosphere and whisky-filled
melancholy - simply can’t be missed.” smallfish-online.net
"A creditable set from an emerging artist." The Skinny
“Raw intimacy, alluring vocals and warm musical sounds
paint a picture of love’s highs and lows.” havemousewillclick.com
“The production is superb and it sounds as though the Kronos Quartet have been roped in for backing. Her sweet vocals and sumptuous melody hark of a bygone era. In fact for just a moment I imagined myself as a spy in wartime Paris sitting in a café listening” crookedrain.co.uk

A SEXY mix of quirky jazz and burlesque glamour has ensured classically-trained multi-instrumentalist Lou Hickey has quickly become a darling of the UK cabaret and club circuit securing, along the way, prestigious support slots with Martha Wainwright and Suzanne Vega.
With two well received self-produced E.P.’s already under her belt, Lou has now been given substantial funding by the Scottish Arts Council, to fund the recording and production of a new album, which is due for release Summer 2009.

When will you be touring with the new project then, dear? Will it just be UK? I want to make sure I get to one of the shows. Just another good excuse to go to the UK. I might as well move.
Having released a couple of tuneful albums with theAudiologist and Soni Jimm since my last LP, "Fear of Mathematics", Section 27 Netlabel brings you "Wrpdata”, containing 14 tracks full of chunky, breathy and some would even say pleasantly broken breaks, some good-time-mind-fuck glitch, a few (thankfully blissful) orchestrated mixes featuring the talents of Pinklogik and theAudiologist (also acting as co-producer on this release) respectively, and ends sweetly with some beautiful spoken word poetry by the lovely aussie Cindel Waddington.
A delight on the sensory organs from start to finish, "Wrpdata" is available now for *free* download. Licensed by Creative Commons.
The Privates Hammond Orchestra will be appearing live and in person at our favourite boozer Blackfriars this Sunday 14th at 9pm. Private Duncan's chat will be even more inspired and sparkling than usual...
