Laura Stevenson Drops 'Claustrophobe'; LP Out Today
By: BWW News Desk Oct. 30, 2015
Laura Stevenson shows her emboldened rock and roll side on Cocksure, slated for release today, October 30th via Don Giovanni Records. Produced by long-time friend and collaborator Jeff Rosenstock of Bomb The Music Industry!, it is an album of spontaneity, biting guitar licks and irresistible melody. Hitting that 90's-alt-rock-riot-grrrl sweet spot, "Claustrophobe" is a moody, anthemic track that builds to an epic breakdown.
"Claustrophobe" premiered with Stereogum.Album & Special Bundle Pre-Order Available Now Joined by musicians Mike Campbell, Alex Billig, Peter Naddeo and Samantha Niss, Cocksure represents a new era for the songwriter. It was mostly recorded live, resulting in a raw, spontaneous feeling that makes the album an accumulation of Stevenson's journey, on and off the stage. After more than a year of national and worldwide touring alongside reputable acts including Against Me!, The Go-Go's, Cursive's Tim Kasher and The Gaslight Anthem, Laura Stevenson will kick off a national fall tour on October 14 in DC.
