BLOOM C H E E K

Summer is upon us, one and all, and if theres one thing that really sets off this mid-year advernture-time, its a good record.... music.... front-to-back.... long play. So it is of a happy coincidence that What Laura Says should be, and very much WILL be, releasing their second collection of tales that is told by the name BLOOM CHEEK!

After much deliberation and consultation with the stars as well as ancestors... we, Terpsikhore Records in conjunction with MRI Distribution and the band, have decided on JUNE 22nd as the official retail release date for BLOOM CHEEK. We will, however, be holding a number of official and raukus record release parties... during these fine encounters, our wonderful phoenix constituency may check out our new digs for the first time!

INFO:








Everyone is very excited for the music to get out n about... and we're already hard at work on new works, and highly anticipating the completion of all the neat little projects that occupied our springtime.... standby!
