Found Light
Laura Veirs today announced her new album Found Light will be released on May 20th via her own Raven Marching Band Records. While it’s technically the 12th studio LP from the esteemed Portland, OR-based artist, it also, in many ways, feels like her debut: Found Light is her very first record with co-production credits (alongside Shahzad Ismaily), and finds Veirs embracing a self-sovereignty and artistic independence she’d never known previously.
The Portland songwriter captures a mood of ordinary enchantment on her spacious and stirring new record.
