Warp and weft

"Laura Veirs' music is focused on her voice, lyrics, and guitar, but to call her simply a singer/songwriter misses the mark. It captures the pick-up-and-play directness of her songwriting while leaving out a whole other dimension: the formal distance and art-music aesthetics she brings to her albums ... the delicately chained unison of the guitar and vocal melodies makes for a standout passage in a record that feels fresher and sharper than we've heard from Veirs in awhile".

"Veirs takes her disparate inspirations and turns them into songs. Taken as a whole, they show how rich life is, whether one refers to cultural or natural elements, the past, present, or future, corporeal existence or dreamy memories, etc. They are not competing dualities but all part of life's fullness. Tapestries tend to focus on a single message. Warp and Weft shows that there are many communications that form one big messy magnificence".
