Longtime Pacific Northwest singer/songwriter Laura Veirs is releasing a new album, The Lookout, her tenth solo album, on April 13 via Raven Marching Band Records. Previously the album’s first single, “Everybody Needs You,” was one of our Songs of the Week. Now she has shared another song from the album, “Watch Fire,” which features backing vocals from Sufjan Stevens. Listen below, followed by her upcoming tour dates.
Tucker Martine produced the album, which also features guest vocals from My Morning Jacket’s Jim James.
Veirs had this to say about the album in a previous press release: “The Lookout is about the need to pay attention to the fleeting beauty of life and to not be complacent; it’s about the importance of looking out for each other. I’m addressing what’s happening around me with the chaos of post-election America, the racial divides in our country, and a personal reckoning with the realities of midlife: I have friends who’ve died; I struggle with how to balance life as an artist with parenting young children.”
