Year of Meteors

Laura Veirs

Lush, nature-obsessed folk rock where geological metaphors meet chamber strings. A mossy, intricate record that feels like a field guide to the Pacific Northwest.

August 23, 2005 · Raven Marching Band

A curious and deeply observant exploration of the natural world mirrored in the human heart.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden surge of electric guitar and driving percussion on Galaxies that breaks the folk mold.
The way the strings swell like a rising tide during the climax of Fire Snakes.
The intimate, lo-fi crackle of the phone call version of Magnetized that closes the record.
