Laura Veirs – Phone Orphans

Description

Release Date 3rd November

It feels good, on my 50th birthday and after 30 years of writing songs, to bring these “Phone Orphans” into the light – These songs have been been hiding out on my phone, some of them for over eight years. They are about my family, my lovers and me. I recorded them alone in my living room into my voice memo app. I like their relaxed feel. These songs were mastered but we made no edits to the recordings. I hope you enjoy this intimate glimpse into my artistic process. All songs by me except “Up is a Nice Place to Be” by Rosalie Sorrels and “The Archers” with lyrics adapted from a poem by Federico Garcia Lorca.
