Cry from Portraits by Louise Burns
Contrasting the L.A.-based recording sessions of 2019’s Portraits, Burns pieced Element together over a two-and-a-half-year span between home and Mexico. Through its earliest writing sessions in the spring of 2020, Burns found herself grounded in British Columbia for the longest stretch of time since the early ‘00s, and she was experiencing anxiety and an artistic wanderlust because of it.
