Noise Pop: Olivia Chaney, Laura Gibson (solo)

Both literary and raw, with a love of a traditional folk music and a bent towards experimentation, multi-instrumentalist/singer-songwriter Laura Gibson has toured four continents and has collaborated with Dave Depper, Colin Meloy, Calexico, The Dodos among others. She recently received an MFA in Fiction Writing from Hunter College, while working on her fourth release, the wise and vulnerable “Empire Builder”, which Pitchfork called her best record to date.
