"a dizzyingly beautiful set of delicate folk songs" --Nme
"A haunting record, full of unexpected instrumental textures that course beneath Groves' extraordinary voice and eerie, elusive lyrics" --Sunday Times Culture

Product Description
Laura Groves' influences span genres and generations: from Bartok to Bush, Tiersen to Tears For Fears, Debussy to Du Maurier. "Blue Roses" is the serendipity that can only happen when you thought you'd stopped looking.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A Gem!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Blue Roses (Audio CD)
This album is a quirky but lovingly-rendered collection of songs. There are touches of many familiar artists, such as Björk, Joanna Newsom, even Joni Mitchell and Sufjan Stevens (trust me, this makes a lot of sense). She's mostly folk with a dash of electronica here and there but very accessible for fans of pop music. Her voice is extremely clear and precise. Her overall tone is very whimsical but her lyrics are sophisticated and grounded. These are emotional songs without a fragile guitar-strumming waif behind them. This singer has a lot of energy and it's not the pity party that some folk albums can be.
I awarded her five stars for ten strong songs, "Rebecca" being my favorite. If you like folk, female singer-songwriters, or any of the aforementioned singers, you should do yourself a favor and pick this up.

The kind of music that creeps up on you and settles in your mind for long lingering days... Sounds simple at first, but the melodies are gorgeous and the more you listen the more you feel how creative in it's simplicity this album is... Gorgeous

This review is from: Blue Roses (Audio CD)
This is a type of music that you can play as nice, mellow background music, or you can savior each track and enjoy the piano, sweet melodies, and have fun with it.
I listen to a LOT of different kinds of music and I have to say I have not heard anything quite like this. And this album is solid in the sense that EVERY song is enjoyable and have not found myself skipping any tracks. That is a good sign. This album was given to me from a friend and I just want to pass the good along. Spread the love!
