Composing

Singing and playing instruments from the age of 4 and gaining a grounding in classical music via 10 years of youth orchestras and string ensembles (demonstrated by a precocious rearrangement of Massive Attack’s “Unfinished Sympathy” for the school concert), Laura started playing bass and guitar in bands as a teenager. Having toured the world with Tricky and played Siouxsie’s Meltdown with Viv Albertine (The Slits) alongside writing, arranging and producing five increasingly ambitious indie rock solo albums, she brings a refreshingly melodic sensibility to any project.
