"Louise" is on Medusa, the second album from Dutch dark wave band Clan of Xymox, which 4AD released in November 1986. Ronny Moorings, Pieter Nooten and Anke Wolbert share the writing credit, and the band produced it with John Fryer.
Medusa is the record some critics hold up as the group's high point. At the time Sounds heard every track as the closing act of some brooding epic, and Melody Maker praised the band's sleek, dramatic grasp of understatement. Nooten, a founding member, later split from the band for a while, and on Sleeps with the Fishes, his 1987 album with Michael Brook, he re-recorded two of the Medusa songs.
