Release Notes:
http://www.myspace.com/whatlaurasaysthinksandfeels
What Laura Says and the music it makes tends to feel like a bundle of nerves and
agitation and apprehension that cannot be reasoned with, just witnessed, almost
as a voyeur. It feels as if a lifetime's worth of passion and real living is
getting crammed into these pieces of time that they put together around an idea
or a phrasing of an idea. --Daytrotter
Phoenix, Arizona based-band, What Laura Says' Bloom Cheek is the group's second
full-length record. Quite a bit more focused than their patchwork debut record,
Thinks and Feels, Bloom Cheek plays out as a layered, lush and vibrant journey
from start to finish. The album will be released June 8, 2010, on Raleigh, North
Carolina-based label Terpsikhore Records - creation of indie darlings, the band
Annuals and run by bassist Mike Robinson.
What Laura Says Thinks and Feels was the original tongue-in-cheek moniker
created in 2003 by founding band members James Mulhern and Danny Godbold. The
acoustic duo played for years at coffee houses and house parties in the Phoenix
area until 2006, when they joined forces with the accredited rhythm section of
Mitch Freedom and Greg Muller, as well as like-minded multi instrumentalist
Jacob Woolsey.
This combining of friends and forces resulted in a full five-piece American band
in the truest sense. What Laura Says' layered song writing and instrumentation
melds together the sounds of psychedelia, pop, blues, Americana, and indie rock
delivering a fresh sonic experience both vintage and contemporary in tone.
