CD Reviews Veirs in NY Times
Posted by Andrew R Tonry on Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 5:14 PM
Ezra isn't the only one trumpeting the work of Laura "Two Beers" Veirs. The Portlander nabbed a "Critics' Choice" in today's New York Times. An except:
("Summer of the Champion" is) full of texture... You almost want to run your hands across it and feel the nicks in the wood grain, or order it off the appetizer menu in your town’s new warehouse-district restaurant run by a ruddy-faced genius with a beard. And so with the rest of Ms. Veirs’s new record, “July Flame,” named after a farmer’s market peach. It’s full of layered folk and indie-rock bucolia and plain-spoken but stretchy-thinking language, wherein everyday energies or objects transubstantiate into other, metaphorically richer ones.
