Hailing from Portland, Oregon, Laura Gibson has captured a good deal of attention for her latest record, Beast of Seasons.  With its quiet, often mournful tone, the record has a timeless beauty, accentuated by finger-picking guitar work and a voice that seems almost supernaturally haunted.  In fact, much of the writing of this record was done when she was living next to a cemetery.

For this session, Gibson played solo, stripping each song down to its raw essence.  When we sat down to talk with her afterwards, it was clear that her songs are inspired by her ruminations on the passages of life, its seasons, and ultimately its end.  Look for our interview with her soon, as well.

Gibson is touring Europe this month, returning to the west coast of the US for some dates in October, before heading over to Japan for some shows.
