Interview: Laura Veirs  UNCUT: How does Year Of Meteors relate
to Carbon Glacier? LAURA VEIRS: They're related in that I wanted
them to be unrelated. Ilways wanted to grow and push myself to
do something different. I was experimenting with writing less
structurally complex songs, they're pretty sparse in structure
but not so sparse in arrangements. Carbon Glacier was a wintry
album, this new one is more summery, more sunlit and bright.
Did you deliberately make the lyrics more abstract and poetic?
In some ways. On a few songs I really love the poetry but I
don't know where it came from or what it's about. I don't know
exactly what it means, but that's OK. In the past it definitely
had to mean something, so I'm loosening up in that way.  Year Of
Meteors is probably your poppiest album yet. Will you be as big
as Gwen Stefani by the end of 2005? You never know. I seriously
doubt that... but I'm not ruling it out.  Interview by Stephen
