Laurel Brauns
There are many familiar names on Laurel's new album. Some of my faves make an appearance in the grooves of HOUSE OF SNOW. And a new one to add to favorite creatives. ~Inessa
LAUREL BRAUNSHouse of Snow was produced and arranged by Douglas Jenkins, creative director of the Portland Cello Project and features many of Portland’s finest musicians including Sam Cooper (Horse Feathers), Skip vonKuske (Vagabond Opera), and Jenny Conlee (The Decemberists.)
One of my favorite developments over the last year, when it comes to albums, is to completely enjoy the album art. Kaycee Anseth is the visual artist who was commissioned to do the cover art, and apparently was so moved by the songs, she created the back cover.

And listen to our conversation below. I really like that artwork, as I mentioned above. Done in a surprising technique. Take a listen!
