Laura Veirs: Tumble Bee

Nov 8, 2011, 2:00am PopMatters
Laura Veirs follows in the footsteps of Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, and others with a solid collection of songs for children. Laura Veirs follows in the footsteps of Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, and others with Tumble Bee, a collection of songs for children. The half-hour set is sweet start to finish, with Veirs and long-time producer and collaborator Tucker Martine, giving these songs simple but lush instrumentation that keep classic children's songs fresh. She is alternately comforting ("Prairie Lullaby") and playful (the tack piano romp of "Jack Can I Ride?"). Her take on "Jamaican Farewell", with...

Laura Veirs – Tumble Bee (Bella Union, 2011)

Nov 7, 2011, 3:37pm Indie-eye // re-censore (k.o.c.)
Laura Veirs – Tumble Bee (Bella Union, 2011) Come ci aveva anticipato lo scorso Febbraio con questa intervista pubblicata su indie-eye.it , Laura Veirs torna con una collezione di canzoni folk per bambini. La nascita di Tennessee, iniziato alle gioie del tour ancor dentro il pancione, ha ispirato a Laura e al marito (e produttore) Tucker Martine una lunga ricerca negli archivi fisici e mentali della vecchia canzone popolare, in alcuni casi ben nota, in altri presa in prestito dal dimenticatoio. Non siate scettici: non troverete ninnananne e filastrocche appannaggio esclusivo di supermamme e supernonne, e non rischierete di essere stroncati dal sonno [...]

5 Songs / Dark Love Songs by Chicks That Feature Some Kind of Distressed Animal

Nov 7, 2011, 7:14am Draw Us Lines
5 Songs / Dark Love Songs by Chicks That Feature Some Kind of Distressed Animal 5 Songs is a weekly series where we point out the strange, the grand, and the unique connections between our favorite songs. Let's get weird. Words by Chris Carosi It's a drag to think about love sometimes, and these 5 songs take into account the fragility of love in the form of li'l animals, and use them to expose truths about abandonment, sexual congress, and asphyxiation. You go, girls! [...]

Not The Beginning of the End: An Interview With Laura Veirs

Nov 7, 2011, 1:00am PopMatters
The Making Of Laura Veirs' 'Tumble Bee'
Not everyone follows up their acclaimed singer-songwriter albums with a disc of children's music, but few children's albums are as mature, upbeat, or dark (trust us), as Laura Veirs latest, which she tells PopMatters all about ... Slowly but surely, confidently and quietly, Laura Veirs has become a significant presence among American folk artists. The singer who began writing while she was a translator for a geological expedition in China has since released seven increasingly acclaimed albums, toured internationally and settled down in Portland, Oregon with producer Tucker Martine and a young son. Veirs' last LP, 2010's July Flame, [...]

Jammer dat ik geen kinderen heb #lauraveirs

Nov 6, 2011, 1:05pm Ketelmuziek
Jammer dat ik geen kinderen heb #lauraveirs Popmuziek voor kinderen is er in alle soorten en maten. In ons land hebben we acts als de Bende van 4 en De Kinderband . In de USA lijkt popmuziek voor kinderen een enorme markt te zijn, waar acts als Rachel Buchman en Raffi het voor het zeggen hebben. Zo af en toe maakt een act die zich op een meer volwassen publiek richt een album voor kinderen. Zo maakten They Might Be Giants drie erg aardige en leerzame albums voor kinderen: Here Comes Science, Here Come the ABCs en Here Come [...]

Laura Veirs // Tumble Bee // 07.11.11 // Raven Marching Band Records

Nov 6, 2011, 10:02am Never Enough Notes
Laura Veirs // Tumble Bee // 07.11.11 // Raven Marching Band Records Emblazoned upon the artwork of Laura Veirs' new album Tumble Bee is a worrying phrase: 'Laura Veirs sings folk songs for children'. But don't let that put you off. This is an album to be enjoyed by adults too. And teenagers. And those lucky older ones eligible for a free bus pass. Actually, some teenagers may deem it not 'cool' enough for their recherché tastes, but that's pure denial - they'll soon think otherwise. (I should know, being only a few years out of teenagedom myself.) No, it is not the exclusive fare of those mad li... Read more..

Laura Veirs – Tumble Bee

Nov 6, 2011, 5:28am The 405
Indie rock and children's entertainment have been crossing over in the most weird and wonderful ways in recent times. Whether that be numerous indie mainstays (The Shins, Flaming Lips, Wilco et al) appearing prominently on the Spongebob Squarepants Movie soundtrack or Yellow Bird's lovingly put-together Indie Rock Colouring Book, pre-school tastemakers have never had it so good. Fitting in very comfortably within this climate of kindergarten indie is Laura Veirs ' latest effort Tumble Bee , a collection of trusty standards and refreshing originals aimed directly at discerning youngsters getting tired of the same old nursery [...]

Laura Veirs Made a Baby, Made a Record For Babies (But You'll Probably Like It, Too)

Nov 2, 2011, 3:19pm End Hits
Laura Veirs Made a Baby, Made a Record For Babies (But You'll Probably Like It, Too) For those of you who didn't get to watch Laura Veirs tell pregnant jokes, balance a guitar on her bulbous belly, and eat a pickle-peanut butter-chalk sandwich on stage (okay, that didn't happen) a few years ago at Mississippi Studios, I suppose you should know that Veirs and husband/producer Tucker Martine had a baby recently. They named it—him, I mean him —Tennessee and it's likely that the kid will have NO predisposed inclinations towards music, nor any interest in it whatsoever. I'm predicting a gravitational pull towards Black Box theater, or curling. Anyways, post-baby having, [...]

Ouça: The Decemberists – E. Watson Minutos após o lançamento do álbum The King is Dead , os fãs mais radicais do grupo folk The Decemberists já condenavam o som mais tradicional e as letras mais simples que permeavam o álbum. Para esses fãs, uma ótima notícia: a primeira faixa de Long Live The King , novo EP do grupo, traz Colin Meloy de volta ao seu posto de contador de histórias complexas e o som de volta ao acústico de álbuns como The Crane Wife .

The Best of Matt's September (2011)

Sep 30, 2011, 11:43pm The Wounded Jukebox
This month, I took a bit of a tumble during a rousing game of Ultimate Frisbee. And several of those lovely metatarsals you see above were inclined to go their separate ways. The inability to drive, walk, and shower properly have all led to a crazed/frustrated manner towards all things sedentarily inclined. I could be/SHOULD [...]

MILK Presents John Knox Sex Club
I'll confess, the fact that Sparrow and the Workshop have twice insisted to me that John Knox Sex Club are the best live band in Scotland played a significant part in me asking them to play at Henry's on Saturday. Then I heard their version of Katie Cruel on the Sways Records Mixtape , and thought it was incredible. And then I heard their new album Raise Ravens , and that was that. So I am really looking forward to tomorrow, I don't know about you. As for today, it [...]

DONATE: Karl Blau's KELP Lunacy Advanced Plagiarism... DONATE: Karl Blau's KELP Lunacy Advanced Plagiarism Society (KLAPS). My familiarity with Karl Blau's music is something which has come about only recently; having warmed to his contribution to one of my favourite albums of last year , and sought out some of his recent work as a result, its clear that he is a truly prolific, 'local hero' in the North West of the US. In a musical career spanning nearly 20 years, he's poured his time into creating a subscription series called "KELP Lunacy Advanced Plagiarism Society" through which he releases the music [...]
