And now for something completely different...

There's going to be a new Laura Veirs album this year, we are pleased to learn. As far as we can tell it's going to be called July Flame (gorgeous name, sets a luscious tone ALREADY) but beyond that we're stumped for clues. A Laura Veirs album is a true beauty to behold. Her crystalline delicate paeans to nature are so heartbreakingly beautiful and well-done, we're immediately ashamed for not having mentioned her more often.

Makes note to self: write more about Laura Veirs than Girls Can't Catch, plz.
