Arcade Fire Cover

Heyo, Decided to roll with a newer classic this time around. It was supposed to be a super mellow cover, but I was having fun with some new toys, and it turned into something a little different. Hope you like it! On a related note, I see now that the decision to call my Bandcamp collection "Demos" was decidedly lacking in foresight. Live and learn, you guys. In any case, thanks as always for listening and supporting my work. You make me the happiest camper. Lauren

Stephen Mesa Wow, this is incredibly done! I have listened to it many many times now. You've totally done it justice. Side note: this may sound absurd, but my brand new son was super fussy and crying when I turned this on and it mesmerized him! Your music is so magical it soothes crying babies!

Big Star Cover- "Thirteen"

I've loved this song since hearing Elliott Smith's version of it, which was prominently featured on a mix CD I got from a friend in 2007. (It was also on Elliott's album "New Moon," but I'd argue the mix CD was more significant.) I used to play it from time to time in my open mic days and it's never really gotten old, so I decided to lay it down over the weekend with some added guitar bits. Hope you like it, and thanks for yours ears, eyes, and interest as always. -Lauren

Tim Sessanna I love both the Big Star original and Elliott's cover (which I think I heard on the Thumbsucker soundtrack), and this is true to how I imagined you'd do it. :) Thanks Lauren <33

David Mencarini Very nice version. I will have to seek out the Elliott Smith version. Big Star is a very under-appreciated band from the early 70's. Thanks Lauren.

New Song "I Would Rather Be Gone"

Hey there. Here's an acoustic demo of a new song called "I Would Rather Be Gone." I've actually been playing it live for a while, and I'm pretty far along on the studio version as well, but here's the stripped-down version on the National guitar I got a couple months back. In the meantime, I'm still chipping away at my next release. It's a slow process, and your support on here for my demos and covers is basically why I can afford to take my time and make the best studio album I possibly can. Thank you a million times over for your ears, enthusiasm, patience, and generosity. Hope you dig the song. Lauren

Frank Monaco Interesting interview. Just for the record: I don't give a rat sass about your appearance. Also for the record, I consider you attractive. That being said, if you want to appear in a video with your hair up in curlers and a mud pack on your face, go for it. Yes. I will take notice and wonder why, granted. But I am only interested in the song. Sometimes I have things inside that need to come out to be understood. I need that brief download from the artistic souls of those like you to unlock them. So just keep on doing what you do. Don't let the trolls and holes get you down. ;)

Lauren O'Connell Thanks Frank! Good to be reminded that there are a lot of folks out there listening the way you are. There's a lot of middle ground, though, full of well-meaning people who are not only undermining "the point" but also robbing themselves of it, and they're probably unware. I try not to get bogged down by the negative stuff, but I think it's worth calling attention to either way. We should all be examining the way we process things-- good eggs included.

Neutral Milk Hotel Cover w/ Olivia Lee

This is a cover of Neutral Milk Hotel's "Oh Comely" that I recorded with my friend Olivia Lee of the SF band There's Talk. Check em out: https://www.facebook.com/TheresTalk Olivia played guitar, built the beats, sang, and made crunchy ghost-drum sounds through the giant amp she brought to my house. I did some singin' and some bassin' and mixed and mastered it. It was fun. Thank you, and hope you dig it. Lauren

We recorded this song a couple weeks ago when Rebecca, Katie and Sandy were passing through on tour. I knew a couple of them from my Rochester days, so we played a show together, recorded this Built to Spill cover, and had a grand olde thyme. They are fantastically talented, and it is extremely important that you hear all of their music: http://bethlehemsteel.bandcamp.com http://pleistoceneband.bandcamp.com Hope you dig it.

New Song- "Wayfaring Stranger"

Heyo, New song! I recorded a rendition of this old American folk song called "Wayfaring Stranger." It's been done by Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, Ralph Stanley, Bill Monroe, and probably every other folk/country/bluegrass legend ever. Clearly the world is really, desperately in need of another take on it, so I thought I'd oblige. Hope you like it. Thank you. Lauren
