Portland singer-songwriter Laura Veirs has announced a new album, My Echo, available October 23rd. The album’s lead single, “Burn Too Bright,” a requiem for the late great Richard Swift, is out with an accompanying music video that documents an elaborate and cosmic chalk design illustrating the song’s lyrics. Musically, the track expands on Veirs’ unique brand of indie folk, creating a sense of urgency with nimble yet cinematic string arrangements and through her soft, whispery voice, spinning its title into a catchy and mesmerizing refrain.
