If you aren’t familiar with Veirs, here’s some quick math to explain her sound:
Laura Veirs = ((1/3 x Helium’s mysticism) + (1/3 x Sufjan Steven’s instrumentation) + (1/3 x Laura Cantrell’s smooth and beautiful voice)) x (1 + Fontaine Toups' cuteness)
Similar to her last album, The Year in Meteors, there are a few duds spread throughout the disc. However, three-quarters of the album is still immensely enjoyable. In fact, it’s definitely in my top five for the first half of the year and combining the highlights of the two albums makes for a fantastic iPod playlist.
Unfortunately, I missed her performance when she opened for Sufjan Stevens in Montreal two years ago. Hopefully, she’ll come around again.

"Cast a Hook" blows me away. Such a great song.
ReplyDeleteMurf,
ReplyDeleteCan you restate that equation using boy bands of the 80's as the elements.
Thanks
Nik,
ReplyDeleteTrick question right? Boy bands were from the 90's; not the 80's. Right?
But if I was doing it with boy bands from the 90's, I'd have to cop out and run the same formula with a final part of "+ (N'Sync x (1.1 x (10 ^ -999)))".
How's that work for ya?
Just add ! somewhere in there, cause factorials are cool like Fonzi.
ReplyDeleteGosh, there is really much useful information above!
