来自西雅图的创作女歌手Laura Veirs，除了99年的首张同名专辑外，2003年在欧洲曾在Cocteau Twins的Bella Union厂牌下发行“Carbon Glacier”，获得英国传媒大力赞赏，The Guardian称赞：‘出奇的优美’，Uncut还给予5颗星满分高评并选为当月最佳专辑。受到爵士吉他手Bill Frisell青睐引见后，与Nonesuch签约后也在美国发行。2005最新作品“Year Of Meteors”，Laura Veirs依旧散发出甜美、浪漫的民谣旋律之音。Q、Mojo、Uncut杂志与AMG音乐网站纷纷给予5颗星高评。 Seattle singer/songwriter Laura Veirs sings personal songs of romantic intoxication, everyday vignettes, and occasional social commentary that are often heavy on introspection and intense character scrutiny. Her vocals and melodies rapidly shift and veer, true to her name, up and down her wide vocal range. She put out her own self-titled CD, recorded live and featuring just her and guitar, in 1999. Though she went to the studio for her next album, The Triumphs & Travails of Orphan Mae, it too was self-released (though it saw greater distribution after British label Bella Union decided to reissue it in 2005). 2003 brought the release of Troubled by the Fire, a full-band effort that found the artist sharing the studio with such luminaries as Bill Frisell, Amy Denio, and Fred Chalenor. She signed to Nonesuch the following year and recorded the atmospheric Carbon Glacier, followed by Year of Meteors in August of 2005 and Saltbreakers in 2007.
