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. Review: Simply Stunning - I have followed Laura as a local artist for many years and enjoyed many of her live shows, either as a headliner or as a contributor, and have enjoyed her previous recorded works, but this simply is something different and frankly brilliant. Whether it the depth of the songwriting, the appreciated production or the addition of a wealth of talented supporting artists and voices like Neko Case of course, it all adds up to something very special and in my opinion one of the year's best. Thank you Laura, for the most pleasant surprise of listening to this gem today and maybe just maybe being pregnant when you created much of this CD helped a little or a lot, but I have to think it had something to do with you channeling MJ here in Portland back in February at the amazing Wes event. Your talent and humbled stage presence was something to behold and we are all the better for your musical talents/gifts with a kind of welcomed humor and humility to boot. Buy this CD and enjoy a better day ahead. Review: Electric Veirs - Her first proper studio recording (or so I read), this album sounds almost overproduced for a Veirs effort. It's certainly a darker, less quirky, more mature Veirs than we're used to. And there's a LOT of electric guitar. Turned me off at first, but it's growing on me with more listening. I've also found I enjoy it more with headphones than in the car. There's one thing that really annoys me and I can't get past. "Dorothy of the Island", an otherwise solid song about suicide, has a chorus line that goes "Motherless children have a hard time when the mother's dead". Each time I hear it, I just get Rosanne Cash's cover of the traditional "Motherless Children" in my head (the frequently repeated lyric "Motherless children have a hard time when the mother is gone"). Still, that's about as much as I can complain about. "Shape Shifter" and "Sadako Folding Cranes" (based on the story of Sadako Sasaki) are standouts. "That Alice" is a rocking tribute to Alice Coltrane. "White Cherry" is an even more fitting tribute with it's breezy swinging jazz layers. "Warp & Weft" will likely rotate in the car CD changer through the fall, but I'm not ready to put it on the level of "July Flame" (which has been in said rotation since the day I purchased it) or "Tumble Bee", which despite its being pigeonholed as a children's album, I consider to be a masterpiece. But who knows...perhaps by the end of the year, I'll consider this the album of the year. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00DRCY7OS | | Best Sellers Rank | #299,977 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #5,014 in Special Interest | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (49) | | Date First Available | July 3, 2013 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Label | Raven Marching Band | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Raven Marching Band | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2013 | | Product Dimensions | 12.39 x 12.39 x 0.3 inches; 10.4 ounces | ## Images ![Warp and Weft - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81K5Rh2j6gL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simply Stunning *by G***D on August 21, 2013* I have followed Laura as a local artist for many years and enjoyed many of her live shows, either as a headliner or as a contributor, and have enjoyed her previous recorded works, but this simply is something different and frankly brilliant.

Perhaps the song "That Alice" is the key to this album--Ms. Veirs tastes are beyond solely the world of pop, the song is about Alice Coltrane and contains a brilliant, "ragged" guitar solo (by Ms. Veirs) that is Jazz inspired. I have come to love this CD as much as the aforementioned albums not just for the beauty and creativity of the songs but also that it hints at what might be to come on future albums. Ms. Veirs is definitely not resting on her laurels and hopefully will continue to evolve into deeper territory. In my humble estimation she is one of the top songwriters working today, she deserves more recognition.
