we have a new song for you. it’s called mark the day. we are very proud of it. sure, we love all our children, but this one has lovely white teeth, stands up straight, and worships the same gods as us. also, it mutters things like “i taste ash” and “elegantly choke” whenever the sun goes behind a cloud or a crow lands on the back fence.
it’s going to be a free radio/web-only single.
on the one hand, we’d like to release it right now, but on the other hand, we’re not going to until next week, because it still needs to be coated in a thin layer of opalescent moth-wing dust or something.
i could make a long series of true statements about it, but they wouldn’t make anybody happy, so i’m not going to do that.
so my recommendations are:
1) keep an eye on the website. and the laura facebook. and the laura myspace.
2) in the mean time, bone up on some recent laura history.
appendix 1: legend to symbols:
moth-wing dust (literal): a thin layer that protects and insulates the moth’s wing and incidentally makes it aesthetically nicer.
moth-wing dust (figurative; musical production): a thin layer of subtle but noticable adjustments that protect broadcast and playback equipment and incidentally make the music sound much more gooder.
ash: a thin layer of post-apocalyptic volcanic cinder which covers and protects the land, insulating and protecting it from the corrupting influence of light which would otherwise fuel assorted biological and meteorological processes that would ultimately lead to detestable erosion of stone by weather and the mechanical action of plant and animal life.
exercise for the reader:
given the above, what does it mean that your light-fittings are full of moth-wing dust?
