The new album from one of American folk music's most celebrated figures. The prolific singer-songwriter Laura Veirs demonstrates the breadth of her talent on her tenth solo album, The Lookout, to be released on April 13 via Bella Union. This album brings together an inimitable collection of exquisite folk-pop songs; a concept album dealing with the fragility of precious things. Produced by long-time collaborator Tucker Martine, The Lookout is the soundtrack for tumultuous times, highlighting protectors: the camper stoking the fire, a mother caring for her child, a sailor in a crow's nest, and a lightning rod conducting energy. The Lookout is the product of talented musicians: Karl Brau, Steve Moore, Eli Moore, Eyvind Kang, and Martine. Sufjan Stevens and Jim James also contributed vocals. This album reflects Veirs' ability to always push boundaries. Both familiar and strange, The Lookout improves with each listen, gradually preparing us for the journey ahead.
