"she was electric but I wasn't shocked..."
The raw yet clean lines of 'Dumb' by Hamilton, Ontario based duo Burn The Louvre feels totally infused by the iconic garage rock, art punk of days past. The sparse production but truly punchy aesthetic feels (to me) like a crushing amalgam of 80's artists like Nick Lowe, The Plimsouls and Violent Femmes. The sound it classic, timeless, earnest and thankfully free of the trope fill shit some bands mining this sounds tend to lean on. This just feels gloriously real.
As Press notey stuff reveal:
Burn The Louvre is an indie duo based out of Hamilton, ON comprised of Jordan Speare (vocals/guitar) and Sean Cooper (guitar/vocals). Their debut LP Silhouettes was recorded, mixed & mastered by engineer/producer Mickey Ellsworth and is slated for release across 2022.
"Our 8th single "Dumb" is about an ex-girlfriend of mine," says Speare with a smile, "it's actually more about me than it is about her. I remember I was listening to The Dirty Nil a lot at the time," recalls Speare, "so this song is basically me doing a terrible Luke Bentham impression."

I am feeling that 'Dumb' done LIVE must turn into a moshy sing a long.

Speare started working on Silhouettes years before he met Cooper. Recording as a “solo artist” for the first time ever, he enlisted the help of friend Andrew Billone of Silvertone Hills to play lead guitar & bass on all 11 tracks on the LP. He also invited friend & fellow singer/songwriter Stephanie Deshane to sing with him on “Alison”, a fun duet with a charming back & forth.
After Jordan & Mickey wrapped up the recording of Silhouettes late 2018, he received an email from guitarist Sean Cooper. He was answering a “Musicians Wanted” Kijiji ad that Jordan had forgotten to take down.
“The fact that he even showed up for that beer was enough to impress me. We hit it off and the next week, we got together to jam & he impressed me a whole lot more. The way he came up with his own unique leads to songs that were already recorded, giving them different nuances while maintaining the vibe of each song...I felt this was a perfect opportunity to re-imagine Burn The Louvre as a duo and I am very happy he wanted to be a part of this,” said Speare on his friendship with guitarist Sean Cooper.
