LAUREL Unveils Two New Singles ‘Crave’ and ‘Same Mistakes’
English indie-pop singer-songwriter Laurel is back with two new singles: Crave and Same Mistakes, both taken from her upcoming debut album, DOGVIOLET, set to arrive on August 24th on Counter Records.
My favourite is Same Mistakes thanks to its gritty, driving blues which contrast to the cinematic and soaring Crave. Her vocals are so distinctive and just make the songs sound even better!! Stream these gems below!
Crave and Same Mistakes follow the album's lead single Lovesick and showcase her sublime vocals and guitars wich will be present on her 12-track album.
Recorded without glossing over the imperfections and driven by her personal lyrics and stirring melodies, every track on the album was written and recorded in LAUREL’s home studio in East London. It was then taken to Gizzard Studios to be fed back through a reel-to-reel tape recorder, re-capturing the organic tone that is prevalent within her breathtaking live shows.
Titled after the flower, DOGVIOLET is a deeply personal exploration of the bittersweet feeling of love. Laurel says
I wrote these songs at home often locking myself away for periods of time in order to capture the true mania that comes from love; although a beautiful feeling, it can often feel a lot uglier.
Following a huge 2017, including a UK and European tour with Oh Wonder, two sold-out UK headline tours, and appearances at The Secret Garden Party, Live At Leeds, Outlines Festival and Golden Leaves Festival, LAUREL heads out on a UK and European tour this autumn.
