...according to our Business Lady on Thu 28 May, 2009.
'I am leaving/Moments before sleep' is the new single from Blue Roses....but wait, this has been released before, yeah? Blue Roses is the new guise for Shirley singer/songwriter Laura Groves. This was originally reviewed by beautiful phil whose literary genius i may never surpass in my lifetime so i'll leave you in his more than capable hands...........'Gently does it. Laura Groves is a singer songwritery lady who makes a pleasing noise on 'I Am Leaving' which reminds me a bit of Joanna Newsom but more kooky and twee indie sounding. It has a high twinkle factor despite it being largely played on acoustic guitar.... Very nice sounding record though and it will appeal to folks who like Nancy Elizabeth and that kind of shenanigans.' Cheers Phil. Now on XL records, Laura's gonna be massive yo!“A mix of the eccentric and the ornate” – Dazed & Confused.
“Melodic folk music that twinkles and drifts” – The Observer.
‘I Am Leaving’ is the second single to be taken from Blue Roses self-titled debut album and follows on from previous single ‘Doubtful Comforts.’
With delicate, finger-plucked guitar and stirring synths, ‘I Am Leaving’ is one of the stand-out tracks from an exceptionally accomplished album.
The single also comes backed with the brand new exclusive track ‘Moments Before Sleep’ that twinkles with haunting delicacy.
