Laura Veirs (* 1974) ist eine US-amerikanische Sängerin, die in Portland, USA lebt. Sie singt und spielt Sologitarre oder tritt mit der Band Saltbreakers (früher „The Tortured Souls“ genannt), der der Schlagzeuger Tucker Martine und Steve Moore, der vor allem Keyboard und Posaune spielt, angehört. Im Jahr 2005 tourte sie durch Nordamerika, Australien und Europa. In den Jahren 2006 und 2007 tourte sie auch durch Europa. Saltbreakers, Ihr drittes Album (2007) beim Label Nonesuch Records bezeichnet Laura Veirs als ihr bisher persönlichstes. Dieses fiel in eine sehr intensive Zeit ihres Lebens, „die von der Beendigung einer langen Beziehung und dann einer unerwarteten neuen Beziehung“ geprägt wurde. Außerdem zog Laura in dieser Zeit von Seattle nach Portland. Ihre bisherige Band, die „Tortured Souls“, hat sie (bei gleichbleibender Besetzung) in Saltbreakers umbenannt, um die ständigen Anspielungen auf den alten Bandnamen zu vermeiden (Quelle: Michael Hill, Billions).

I already pre-ordered my July Flame CD, without even listening to it. Couldn't resist the idea of having a Laura-autographed CD!

I hope all of you already listening to the new album will make sure to buy a legal copy when it becomes available. Laura Veirs deserves to be paid for her efforts.

(2 of 2) Want a taste of Laura's "Saltbreakers" era?? Check out "Summer Is The Champion",, and you'll walk away wanting more! Prefer the sparse, stripped down sound present in "Carbon Glacier"?? Well, check out "Silo Song"........Craving a track that embodies "Year Of Meteors" -like Veirs?? "I Can See Your Tracks" will make you happy! Are you like me, and especially are drawn to the reflective but positive "Troubled by the Fire"?? "Wide-Eyed, Legless" it up, my friend! This is not to suggest that Laura's cd is merely a mix of her previous strengths, with new song titles.....it is so much more than that! Flame finds a way to push her musical envelope forward in creative, innovative, self-challenging ways, while simultaneously appealing to her established loyal fanbase, by drawing upon her previous LPs to lure both the new and the old fans in here:)

The new album is one of her best, in a career full of highlights! 2003's Troubled by the Fire is my favourite album of the just-wrapping-up decade.....July Flame starts off the next decade of music in the finest way possible!! There is no doubt in my mind, that come 2019, it will be up there with my fav albums of the decade once again:) From the sweet, optimistic, sparseness of "Life Is Good Blues", to the sparkling upbeat "Summer Is The Champion" that is surely influenced by "Belle and Sebastian", to the lyrical simplicity, but powerfulness of the title track "July Flame", to my personal favourite and career high point to date- "Sun Is King", Veirs' 7th LP , despite my deep passion and personal soft spot for ":Troubled by the Fire", "July Flame" is her most diverse, eclectic, moving artistic statement to date, in a career full of highlights! The album's greatest strength is its ability to draw upon her historically displayed strongpoints, and put them together in a fulfilling way!

New album is astonishingly beautiful. Totally influenced by what Fleet Foxes did with their debut, but wonderful nonetheless.

New album sounds good - I might like it more than Year of Meteors. It's more upbeat, at least.

I saw her open for Tegan and Sara three weeks ago. I hadn't heard any of her stuff before so I got Year of Meteors, which I really enjoy. I wasn't too keen of her live performance the first night, however I really enjoyed it the second night. It was more like an acoustic set.

Voice is not the best, but hey, I can't sing either. Love her songs though. Hope she has a Dutch gig too on her new tour :)

systolediastole schrieb:
I wouldn't call it horrible. She reminds me of Dylan, I guess. He was never that technically proficient either, I guess, but there's definitely something about his voice that makes it more 'listenable' than just any random person, IMO.

Her voice is horrible, nothing special at all - like listening to a friend with no real talent singing, but I LOVE the music anyway. I'm not sure why, but I really do. One of my favorite bands hands down.

Haven't seen her live, but with the exception of a lot of the Carbon Glacier album, completely disagree about the songs
