Laura Veirs: official website; myspace; Seattle singer/songwriter Laura Veirs sings personal songs of romantic intoxication, everyday vignettes, and occasional social commentary that are often heavy on introspection and intense character scrutiny. Her vocals and melodies rapidly shift and veer, true to her name, up and down her wide vocal range.
--Richie Unterberger

The Watson Twins: official website; myspace; The Watson Twins' debut full-length, Fire Songs, was recorded in September 2007 at Everest Analog Recorders and New Monkey Studios, both in Los Angeles. The unique approach by producers Russell Pollard (Sebadoh, Folk Implosion, Alaska!, Everest) and J. Soda (Slydell, Everest), called for an all analog recording, ultimately capturing The Watson Twins' raw vocals on songs like "How Am I To Be", "Map To Where You Are" and the Cure cover "Just Like Heaven." Fire Songs is set for release June 24, 2008 on Vanguard Records; a historic label over 50-years-old that has been home to Doc Watson, Levon Helm, Mindy Smith, John Fahey and Joan Baez. Gaining fans in the indie-rock, folk and alternative-country music scenes, The Watson Twins â€“ whose visual presence equals their vocal presence â€“ canâ€™t be easily categorized. Their music is an evocative approach to warm, familiar sounds, which intrigue and enchant.
