Laura Veirs & The Choir Who Couldn’t Say – Live in Angoulême (Raven Marching Band)
For more than two decades Portland based singer-songwriter Laura Veirs has turned quiet observation into iridescent song: rivers, snowfields, the faint tracks people leave behind. On Live in Angoulême she lets those vivid descriptions breathe through a 32-voice French school choir, and the result is both faithful and startlingly new.
