about this album
Having just broken free of the spring thaw, Phoenix's What Laura Says pops up with TALK, a brand new four song record the band hatched in their home state with Bob Hoag at Flying Blanket Studios (The Ataris, The Format, Dear and the Headlights, Gospel Claws) and freshly mastered in Los Angeles by none other than esteemed audio legend Bernie Grundman (THRILLER, The Chronic, Aja, Purple Rain). Conjuring the spirit of the Valley’s soul – the drummed-up blues of Chico Chism, the dusty funk of Michael Liggins, Dyke and the Blazers, and “Mighty” Mike Lenaburg – the band chipped off a small chunk of their expansive body of work and took to the studio for a marathon week of recording during the sunny Phoenix winter. The result is this budding new take on the same well-worn eclecticism that has shaped What Laura Says from the very start Songs from the band’s first two records, Thinks & Feels (2008) and Bloom Cheek (2010) are starting to take hold in the American mainstream, the latest testament being a placement of their rollicking blues-dirge Keep Running Shoes Special in the Showtime series Shameless . The gentlemen of What Laura Says also recently became animated ad-boys for the Valley Metro Notes program, writing educational tunage about the joys and ease of using alternative transportation in their expansive metropolis.
