TAS In Session: Laura Gibson

Laura Gibson's first two solo albums were noted for their hushed intimacy, but for her third release, the Portland, Oregon songwriter wanted to "err on the side of confidence" and set a new challenge for herself.  The result, the more assertive La Grande, is still bathed in Gibson's poetry and gentle observations, but the sound is bolder and more layered. Gibson and her bandmates visited The Alternate Side for a intriguing and candid interview late last month and you can listen to the session tomorrow, Friday, February 17, on TAS on 91.5 WNYE at 11 a.m. ET or streaming on The Alternate Side. After the jump, check out video performances of songs like "La Grande" and "Milk-Heavy, Pollen-Eyed."
