A indie pop singer-songwriter from Berlin, Germany. "Terra Caprice" is an allusion to Jean-Luc Godard’s science fiction film Alphaville. Like the film, the songs reflect on failed interpersonal relationships and broken communication. How can you reach people who have made themselves unreachable? Can you learn to live with emotions that can no longer be held back? Louise Gold is not looking for easy answers, but instead produces a poetry of associations. She avoids hackneyed metaphors and creates evocative vignettes or sequences of images rather than cohesive storylines. “I don’t see myself as a linear narrator,” she explains. “I prefer to capture perspectives and moods.” Always full of atmosphere, the songs are at times thoughtful and melancholy while at others irresistibly optimistic. Writing “Where the Cowboys Will Ride” was an “intoxicating” process, she says with a smile. With every note and syllable, “Delta Baby” communicates her new-found happiness on the back of Arizona’s steeds. She highlights many of the changes in perspective using different vocal registers, from bright/clear to dark/masculine. Girlish naïveté does not suit her, but forceful expression does, always with a degree of elegance. The only gruffness comes from the guitars, as on the album’s title track, which offers a sharp rejoinder to the piece preceding it, “In the Morning There Is Meaning,” with its deliberately idealized childhood memories. Gold is always looking for the perfect pop song – powerful melodies and special harmonies that arouse strong emotions. Terra Caprice conveys such emotions, from euphoria to thoughtfulness, in the form of timeless pop. They transform this album into a personal statement by a songwriter who has grown up in the very best sense of the word.
