it's done.
the carrier pigeons have been dispatched, we lit a special fire in the upstairs fireplace, and i'm wearing a white camellia for the first time in five years. hello, metaphorical boys.
the new laura album, Twelve Hundred Times, will be released on october 14. here's a sampler video to whet your carbon-steel appetites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kK7H97kRx9w
as near as i can say, it'll have been 191 million heartbeats since our last full-length studio release. for that, we're truly sorry. for what it's worth, all of us here think you should be very proud of your heart; it just keeps going, and you never give it a break.
we'll let you know as soon as the album's available for order on our website. in the meantime, check out the first two singles from the album on youtube:
