Just added tracks to the acoustic channel from the wonderful new Laura Veirs album ‘July Flame’…

We’re very excited about this – the return of Laura Veirs to Bella Union with an album so wonderful it may well be her finest to date. The album title is “July Flame” and it was record at her Portland home with the help of friends Tucker Martine, Karl Blau, Steve Moore Eyvind Kang, Stephen Barber and My Morning Jacket’s Jim James, who described their relationship like this: ““Laura’s like the queen bee and my ear is her hive; she nests and makes honey in the hairs of my cochlea.”

“July Flame” is a magical and flawless collection of songs, drenched in wood smoke, sunlight, pastoral dales, fireworks and warm nights, the lyrics explore the dichotomy between one’s desire for permanence and security and the realisation that such things rarely exist. “July Flame” is released on Monday 11th January. Laura will be touring the UK after the release. – Bella Union
