Wyatt C. Louis, a Plains Cree artist based in Treaty Six Territory, recently released his debut album, His music, a fusion of country with indie and roots nuances, reflects his classic rock ‘n’ roll upbringing and gentle influences. The album, produced at Alta Sound in Calgary, delves into themes of life, love, and redefining gender norms, highlighted in songs like ‘Dancing with Sue’.
Supporting his excellent album out via Royal Mountain Records, Chandler is suffused with a soft comfort that glows with feelings of familiarity and ease. A new experience, the result is upbeat yet cozy, the kind of songs that show off Louis’ contradictions of paying homage to the country music ingrained in the geography of their childhood, with an indie and roots spin that makes it something different.
