If PJ Harvey and Leonard Cohen gave birth to a musical daughter, Laura Burhenn would be it. Stellar songwriting orchestrated with vintage organ, electric white-noise guitar, seering drums, weeping cellos -- and raw, honest vocals right in the middle.
Bio / Background
"She catches fire. It's just that simple."
- Music Monthly
Is it possible for sound to make a heart bend? Musically, Laura Burhenn is the cure for what ails you. And listening to her sing is much like tilting your head to the sun. Lyrically, Laura speaks to the loneliest part of you and lifts you up. Or she draws you down into the darkest corner and shows you light. "After all," she says, "the light might shine you, but it's the shadow that defines you."
Laura came to music early, aiming her Mr. Microphone into the a.m. radio and turning out songs on her mother's upright piano. And somewhere in the space between her PJ Harvey, Beatles, and Nina Simone records, Laura found her voice. Then she sat at her piano and started to sing. "Ever since I was very small," Laura says, "I've fancied myself as a bit of a conduit. I sit at the piano, open my hands, and let the songs pour in.

Ignore the 1* review; I guess everyone's entitled to their opinion but it would be more helpful if they elaborated, huh? For me, this album is gorgeous, warm and ethereal. Just lovely to listen to, and something I've come back to the 2 years or so that I've discovered it. Many of the tracks carve a unique style (Helicopters, Memory, White Noise) while others like While You Can feel like they could be mainstream hits if only they got the audience they deserved. I look forward to Laura's next album - I liked her Georgie James project but frankly not as much as this solo effort so part of me is glad, part of me is sad that the project didn't warrant continuation. -Mel
