Album Description
Available in:
"Warp and Weft" is the ninth studio album by American singer-songwriter Laura Veirs. Released on 19 August 2013 in the United States, and 24 August 2013 in Europe, the album was written by Laura Veirs herself and produced by her husband Tucker Martine.
Recorded under Raven Marching Band Records in the US, and under Bella Union in Europe.
Considering she was eight months pregnant during its recording, you might expect Laura Veirs’ ninth album to continue in the vein of its predecessor, 2011’s childlike ‘Tumble Bee’. Instead, Veirs seems more concerned about the world she’s bringing her child into: “How can it be so cold out here in America? Everybody’s packing heat in America”, she wonders on (you guessed it) ‘America’. Yet there are also fables of inspiration to be found in the shape of Alice Coltrane (‘That Alice’) and the painter Howard Finster (‘Finster Saw The Angels’). It all amounts to a rich, evocative expression of a mother’s optimism and anxieties.
‘’Warp and Weft’’ is one of Veirs’ greatest commercial successes. Debuting at number 10 on the US Folk Albums charts, the album first entered the UK Charts, peaking at number 59.
