Laura Veirs details new LP The Lookout, airs lead single "Everybody Needs You"
Folk staple Laura Veirs has shared "Everybody Needs You", the first single from upcoming tenth solo record The Lookout.
The follow up to 2013's Warp and Weft (and her collaborative collection with k.d. lang and Neko Case in 2016) is produced by the Grammy-nomination Tucker Martine and is described as a concept record about "the fragility of precious things". Lance Bangs directs the vid for "Everybody Needs You", the first glimpse of this new chapter.
"The Lookout is about the need to pay attention to the fleeting beauty of life and to not be complacent; it’s about the importance of looking out for each other," says Veirs. "I’m addressing what’s happening around me with the chaos of post-election America, the racial divides in our country, and a personal reckoning with the realities of midlife: I have friends who’ve died; I struggle with how to balance life as an artist with parenting young children."
