Oh Louise Releases Debut Album EVERYTHING ON HIGH
The record explores love, heartbreak, and betrayal, with some songs written during Siegel's freshman year of high school.
OH LOUISE has released its debut album 'EVERYTHING ON HIGH.' Since its surprise announcement just a week ago, the introduction to 19-year-old songwriter Olive Siegel has gathered attention from tastemakers at Under the Radar, Atwood Magazine, Magnet Magazine, Glide Magazine, DittyTV, and more. The record, some of which Siegel wrote in her freshman year of high school, is described as transportive and unflinchingly honest. Crafted with inventive vocal layering, raw lyricism, and beguiling melodic turns, 'Everything On High' is an intimate exploration of love, heartbreak, betrayal, and all the uncertainty that accompanies youth.
Siegel was raised in Los Angeles. 'I learned how to properly record myself during Covid, when schools were closed,' she explains. Much of her new material emerged straight from journals, which she then arranged on an open-tuned guitar in her bedroom, or on the civil war-era piano in the living room of her family home. Now based on the East Coast for college, Siegel recorded 'Everything On High' in Round Pond, Maine with producer Charles Van Kirk, cellist Nat Smith, and bassist John Stirratt of Wilco. Stirratt's esteemed support and ongoing mentorship of Siegel are a testament to the project's promise.
