Laura Veirs will be lighting up the winter months with July Flame, her seventh album which also marks her return to Bella Union records.
The album, which Colin Meloy (of The Decemberists) calls “the best album of 2010”, explores the emotion of mid-summer and is a relatively stripped-down folk record highlighting Veirs’ masterful finger picking guitar. “Laura’s like the queen bee and my ear is her hive; she nests and makes honey in the hairs of my cochlea,” says Jim James of My Morning Jacket (who sings on several tracks).
Simon Raymonde, Bella Union label boss, has also been singing her praises on this very site, also calling it “the best LV album by a country mile”. Can’t wait to hear this…
