BELLACD220 Release Date: 12 January 2010 "Her voice is so suited to the neo-folk path she's chosen to follow in her subsequent career that it's sort of tough to conjure an angry yelp from her. Not that she's all sweetness and light-- her albums have always housed their fair share of darkness and turmoil. They've just favored subtle ways to present those things." - Joe Tangari, Pitchfork (2010) "July Flame is her seventh, and parts of it are so extravagantly beautiful that it will send you scurrying back to its predecessors, particularly 2004's Carbon Glacier. Recorded at home with new partner and long-time producer Tucker Martine, it has such an unassuming, homespun quality that you're constantly surprised by how expansive and richly textured its songs are." - The Guardian "July Flame by Portland based Laura Veirs could perhaps be one of the best records of January and is certainly the best album this reviewer has heard so far this year... Having moved away from the more electronic elements of previous record Saltbreakers to a barer, folkier landscape, Veirs crafts an elegantly understated record... romance is the order of the day, coupled with an infectious upbeat wistfulness." - Line of Best Fit
