Laura Veirs - Warp & Weft

Review by Sammy Maine

Warp & Weft may not be a huge leap forward, but what's wrong with sticking to what you know when it sounds this good? »

One of the most inimitable songwriters of the past decade - Portland, Oregon's Laura Veirs - returns with her ninth full-length album. Beautiful, lush and at times deeply dark, 'Warp and Weft' captures the intensity of motherhood, love and violence. Primarily electric-guitar driven, it is a fever dream of an album and could well be Veirs' best work to date, building on the uniform praise and commercial success of 2010's 'July Flame'. Produced in Portland in March 2013 by Veirs' longtime collaborator Tucker Martine, the album features Jim James, KD Lang, Neko Case, Brian Blade and members of The Decemberists and many more.
