Phone Orphans

Fourteen unvarnished voice-memo demos recorded on a phone. A stark, intimate document of songwriting in its rawest, most fragile state.

It's like sitting in Laura's living room while she plays her most private new sketches just for you.

A fragile and deeply personal collection that feels like overhearing a private conversation with the self.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The audible intake of breath and the slight rustle of clothing before the first guitar pluck of track one

The way the piano notes in track thirteen decay into the natural room noise of the recording space

The fragile, unedited vocal crack during the more emotional passages of Smoke Song
