Laura: Australian post-rock group:
"Their massive wall of sound paralyses the room with awe…They’re like a hit of LSD – you can’t stop it or control it, you just flow with it until it ends abruptly, leaving you naked and disoriented.”
Brag Magazine
For anyone who ever thought that making good music was a lost art, Laura compels you to think again.
Officially, the 5-piece alternative outfit from Melbourne formed in 2001, but it wasn’t until a few years later that the band's story really began. Following the release of its debut EP ‘Photographs…’ in 2002, Laura experimented with a number of member changes and, consequently, sounds. By 2003, the band included the current members: Andrew Chalmers (guitars / vocals), Nathan Biggin (piano / synthesizers / guitars), Ben Yardley (guitars), Andrew Yardley (bass), and Carolyn Gannell (cello). The time spent perfecting the mix was clearly worth the toil, because what followed is one of the most impressive and well received bodies of work produced by an Australian underground act in recent years.
In 2004, Laura released its debut album, 'Mapping Your Dreams', produced by Melbourne-based Japanese engineer and recording artist Naomune Anzai. The title track quickly gained the attention of radio, receiving high-rotation airplay from independent stations around the country including FBi Radio and 2SER in Sydney, and 3RRR and 3PBS in Melbourne. Critical success soon followed. Of the album, Rave Magazine said, "Mapping Your Dreams drips in ethereal, other worldly wall of soundness.” Beat Magazine named the track 'We Should Keep This Secret' its Single of the Week and later Indie Single of the Year for 2004. During this time, Laura began to gain significant momentum in the live arena as well, thanks to intense shows that featured the band’s signature wall of sound, and its dramatic and at times chaotic dynamics.
Having created a more than healthy groundswell, Laura spent an intense six months writing and recording its second album, ‘Radio Swan Is Down’. Upon the albums’ release in 2006, the band embarked on a national tour which not only proved to intensify their fan base, but also gained the attention of international ears including US prog-metal group ISIS, for whom Laura would go on to support on their 2007 Australian tour. That same year, the band released a Japanese edition of ‘Radio Swan Is Down’, later promoting the album with a tour of Japan that included shows in Tokyo, Osaka and Hiroshima.
With their international profile clearly on the rise, and a solid international fan base now well established, Laura released their second EP 'Yes Maybe No' in 2008 on US label Elevation Recordings. Further exposure in the US followed in 2009 with MTV licensing several of the band's songs for various TV series.
This March, Laura releases the limited edition double a-side 7 inch, ‘This Grey Earth’ | Mark The Day’. With only 500 copies produced, The 7 inch is the first taste of what’s to come from the band's long awaited third album, and is already gaining significant attention with ‘Mark The Day’ being named Single Of The Week by both Beat Magazine and InPress in January 2011. "…its enough to darken the sun at midday." (InPress Magazine)
Dark, moody and complicated, this latest release by Laura is sure to leave a mark on all who hear it.

The Slow
Laura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All with rungs of bulbs surrounding you like golden laurels
You chalk your hands and you clap clouds, mm
You move deliberately
All smooth and deep are your steps to the stairs
Lend impossible cares as you stand and wait
For the glare to fade
But I'm already poison-leaden
Line with finery the wire you walk
The wire you walk
All in war-paint, the audience is patient
So they can say that they were the day you took your spill
And the nets escape
The fastest way
But the best of them
Is the last of them
Their woolen suits are lined with fruit for you
But they never said that it ain't for you alone
So I say you should just grace them with your old fantastic, oh
Amaze them with your old fantastic, oh
And brace yourself and fall into the air, oh, ooh, oh, ooh, oh
Laura's song "The Slow" contains vivid imagery in its lyrics, describing a tightrope walker making her way through a circus performance. The song opens with the tightrope walker walking out of a tunnel with the rungs of bulbs surrounding them like golden laurels. The performer's hands are chalked and she claps clouds as she moves deliberately with smooth and deep steps towards the stairs. She stands waiting for the glare to fade, anticipating her act. The performer's moves are graceful, but the singer is already poisoned, watching her every precarious move closely.
The audience is all painted up for the performance, patiently waiting for the tightrope walker to take her spill. Escape nets have been set up as the performer walks the wire, defying gravity and wowing the crowd. Still, the best of them is the last of them, showing how even the crowd is waiting for her to fall. The woolen suits are lined with fruit for the tightrope walker but the fruits were never meant for her alone. The last refrain, repeated three times, encourages the performer to amaze the audience with her fantastic skills, grace, and bravery; then brace herself, and fall into the air.
"The Slow" presents the theme of the pressure to perform and compete, as well as the scrutiny and exploitation that might come with it. The lyrics clearly describe the atmosphere and feel of a circus, with its grandeur, glitter, and danger. The singer takes a rather critical stance, illuminating the dark side of such events, highlighting people's desire to watch others fall short, and the greed of those who profit from risking performer's lives. The tightrope walker stands as a symbol of resilience, strength, and beauty, but also vulnerability, making the song a poignant reflection on the human experience.

So I say you should just grace them with your old fantastic, oh
You should impress them by using your creativity and skills that have always been there.
Amaze them with your old fantastic, oh
You should astound and impress them with your tried and true talents and abilities.
And brace yourself and fall into the air, oh, ooh, oh, ooh, oh
You must mentally prepare yourself to take a leap of faith and chase your dreams, no matter how terrifying it may seem.

As a German I’m absolutely shocked at how dystopian American news media is-
@brucepethick3999

@Chris-ym2qx
HAHAHA, she nails nothing...she is what she's always been, a complete and total liar. My good god, it's highly documented that she & everyone else at FOX lie like there's no tomorrow. Seriously...how dumb can you morons actually get?????
@meminustherandomgooglenumbers
She hasn’t explained why urban real estate prices are so high, I guess supply and demand only exists when it serves republicans diabolical agenda.
@juston69
She's never right - each and every day she has a single mission - Dems bad: Republicans good.
@kroekman6
Lol
@runstrumshoot7869
Why do people continue to vote for these criminals?
@Chrissy45999
Because they would rather blame it on anything other than them making a poor choice. Self reflection is nearly impossible for many.
@minjikim2161
The issue lies within the system itself. Even if you vote for the most upright individual, upon entering the political arena, they become a mere cog in the machine, consumed by the political system.
