2007, Wonder UK
This is how Louis himself explains the birth of An Unknown Spring: "even when we were still finishing The Wonder Of It All, I was starting to write down ideas for what I knew would be a completely different record, which would be a departure from my usual style my Brill Building ethos, if you will. Songs that would be part pop-songs, part lieder in their structure&more linear, with a different feel for form, more adventurous - because that was how the melodies were already taking shape in my head. So, for two years, I built up a number of songs on paper about thirty in total, though it could be more than that. But I needed a catalyst to kick off the recording process, and that proved to be my work as a string arranger for The Clientele for their new record, God Save The Clientele"
