Album Notes

"My favorite of the evening was Laura Meyer, who positively trampled what few pieces of my heart were still beating with her forlorn crooning and subdued fingerpicking. Her poetic lyrics were particularly notable; she had a way of taking an image and stringing it out along an entire verse, cleverly leading her listeners' expectations into trap after heartbreaking trap." - Dan Barry, Hartford Advocate

"She's sultry, soft and a damn fine guitar player. Laura has a solemn streak in her music that gives her set that dark, appealing characteristic to those who enjoy going there. Rich and full, her performance Wednesday night was right on the money." - Alex Lowry, Jezebel Music

"Very chill folk-rock with very witty and sweet lyrics." - Hear/Say, America's College Music Magazine
