Louise Burns is excited to unleash her new Catherine Lutes directed video for ”Drop Names Not Bombs”. Vancouver’s Light Organ Records released Burns’ debut album Mellow Drama last year in to critical acclaim which culminated in its inclusion on the long list for Canada’s Polaris Music Prize.

“We liked the idea of doing a “‘un’ video, as in getting our friends drunk and doing karaoke, but also tapping into a darker side; where something feels a bit off, kind of like the little girl in Poltergeist watching static on her TV,” says Louise Burns. “In our case, there’s a poltergeist in the karaoke video in the form of me (haha). The contrast between brightness and creepiness unintentionally reflects the song as well, which sounds like a happy pop jam but was actually written from a pretty dark place.”
Burns plays nearly every instrument on Mellow Drama, which finally opens the book on a personality that was submerged during the artist’s long apprenticeship years. She has been a desperately sought bassist who co-founded all-girl rockers Lillix at the age of 11.
