In the vein of darkness-drenched rockers such as PJ Harvey, Lucie Idlout (who is from the Arctic Canadian territory of Nunavut - no wonder she's so icy!) combines bluesy tendencies with modern atmospherics.- Time Out New York

"I hear so much good, new music, but her CD is the first in many years that left me speechless.
I actually don't think I have the words to really express how good this CD is."- John Steup / VP - CD Baby

With the recent resurrection of vintage rock, one of the most interesting arrivals on the scene is singer/songwriter Lucie Idlout. Her music is hard hitting, raw and to the point. She has a voice that at times echoes the crooning of the likes of Etta James, and is as provocative and unique as Marianne Faithful. Though she comes from the newest territory, Nunavut, in Canada's Arctic, she is not the typical stereotype associated musically with Aboriginal people.
Lucie's commanding style takes you on an emotional journey drawing on themes that are common to us all; heartwreck, lust and rage. She has toured clubs and rock festivals extensively across Canada and Europe, garnering rave revues wherever she travels. She was host to the top rated Entertainment Magazine, Buffalo Tracks, on APTN, and has acted in a score of theatre pieces, but music has always proven to be home.
She was awarded Best Female Artist at the 2003 Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards and has been nominated for Best Rock Album at both the Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards and the Indian Summer Music Awards in Milwaukee, WI. In 2004, the song "Birthday", off Lucie's debut album "E5-770: My Mothers Name", appeared in the film "Crime Spree", featuring Harvey Keitel and Gérard Depardieu. Her follow-up album, Swagger, is slated for release in 2008.
Its been awhile. How you doing? Getting geared-up for summer? Just thought to let you know theres new tracks on the site. Sounding much better than the last with Trent's help. These are the Originals I'm working on now. Let me know what you think. Theres a blog set up for feedback. Recording is going we'll, should be done very soon. Timeless is already completed. Stay in touch... Nikko
