Some great production choices. Overall this isn’t as produced as Eagle, SM or SF, it’s more like her earlier albums. In fact this feels like it could have been made anytime over the past fifty years.

Love the tones of the bass on this album.

I like Beth Orton but Laura is on another level.

Here’s an hour sampler of her for anyone interested. I made it for Joey last year.

HOpe We Meet Again is a delight. So so good.

At best this is her 3rd best album. SF and SM are better.

I’d put it fourth after ISBIC and ACIDK and SF.

Why the SM hate?

LetMeSleep · Post by **LetMeSleep** » Tue April 14, 2020 11:47 pm

It’s not hate at all. I might be fifth. The top two are particularly important to me so I can’t see them budging.

SM has some great songs yet a few that don’t grab me. As does Eagle.

I haven't listened to anything further back than Once I Was An Eagle. I like her stuff better with some adornment -- is her earlier stuff more coffeehouse-folkie-ish?

I'm probably biased too because the title track to Short Movie was the first song of hers I heard. All because Jorge posted the music video on Facebook.

What Chud said. Hit that spotify link and you’ll get good sense of it. But I’m sure ISBIC and ACIDK are right up you street.

Edit: he deleted his post.

First album is coffee house for sure.

I deleted my post because I forgot about ACIDK and then you posted that before I could compose a new one.

LetMeSleep · Post by **LetMeSleep** » Tue April 14, 2020 11:57 pm

They’re all pretty bloody good.

Eagle SM and SF are more produced than the others.

There's definitely a shift between each album, but some are more drastic than others. And each still has a little flavor carried over from the one previous. The first album is the only one I'd really describe as that coffee house folk style that you mention, KD.

It's hard to believe she's only 30 years old.
