about

"Volume 12 in VDSQ’s impressive acoustic series features a player who beautifully navigates the interval between American Primitive and Folk Baroque, never fully falling into either’s gravity through the pure propulsive nature of her creative playing. There’s invention here without novelty. The playing reminds me at times of Harris Newman’s, exploring the tension between various intervals and letting that dissonance state itself rather than using dissonance as an affectation. This record is the sort that makes me love the sound and possibilities of the acoustic guitar."

-Ben Chasny

"Although Sarah Louise has only one release to her name so far, Vol. 12 quickly places her alongside impressive contributors like Sir Richard Bishop, Glenn Jones, Bill Orcutt and Tashi Dorji. But Louise's music is spiritually and tangibly set apart from her peers', her 12-string compositions culled from birdsong and rivers as well as the sacred drone of Appalachian folk music."

-NPR

"Allowing listeners to find the calm in such furiously beautiful skill, Sarah Louise’s talent defines modern guitar master-work"

-Tiny Mix Tapes

"Sarah Louise's cassette on Scissor Tail was a late-breaking favorite last year. Her VDSQ LP is even better, as her bell-like 12-string tones and lush melodies combine into a sound that manages to be earthy and cosmic all at once...on several tracks I’m reminded more of Terry Riley’s solo piano work, where the repetition of themes creates a mesmerizing atmosphere that rewards repeat listens."

-Aquarium Drunkard
