After the sparse acoustic approach of 2010′s July Flame and Tumble Bee: Laura Veirs Sings Folk Songs for Children in 2011, singer/songwriter Laura Veirs returns to her electric guitar on Warp & Weft and delivers a dozen new songs that wind through skillfully textured, slightly psychedelicized rock, pop, and Americana, covering everything from the fears and joys of motherhood — she had her second child in 2012 — to disillusionment to homages to heroes to gratitude and spiritual awareness.
