Album Description On her Nonesuch debut Carbon Glacier, Laura Veirs re-imagines folk music in a bravely boundary-crossing way, employing the genre as a jumping-off point to create an intimate, affecting sound entirely her own. The Independent described it as "a benchmark by which future Americana releases will be judged." Uncut simply declared Carbon Glacier Veirs' "first masterpiece". Similar CDs

CD ReviewsMuch more than I hoped for A. Johnson | 10/03/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I heard "Fire Snakes" on the Radio from the "Years of Meteors" album. Almost instantly new that I had to seek out this artist and see what else she had produced. Have purchased all her Albums and surprised to find so much I like from each one. Usually when an artist grabs me and I check out their other stuff, I never find anything that I like as much as the first song I heard. With Laura Veirs, I have too many favorites to list. If you hear a song from this artist that you like, you will probably be very happy with the rest of her work. At least that is what I found." Enraptured by this stellar disc meggynewwave | fresno, ca, us | 03/13/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "This disc is so far out of the stratosphere that its follow-up, "Year of Meteors," can't reach it. "Glacier" is the soft, thawing warmth of a just-built fire after a long freeze. This disc is best served by a long closed-eye listen, and "Rapture" is the obvious highlight as Veirs' pale voice rhapsodizes and mourns the very process of her chosen career without sounding aged or jaded."
