From Bedroom Studio to Big Sound

Since 2017, Laura has been quietly crafting intricately layered albums from the comfort of her own room. Her DIY roots run deep, self-producing every track with an almost obsessive attention to detail. The result? A dreamy fusion of soft indie pop and raw, eclectic textures that feel both otherworldly and homemade.

Using a banjolele, field recordings, toy instruments, and lush electronic layering, Laura and the Storm weaves together quirky soundscapes that are both whimsical and emotionally resonant. Her songs don’t just tell stories — they paint miniature sonic fairytales.

Why Laura and the Storm Matters

Lyrics That Twist and Tangle

At the heart of Laura’s music is her lyricism. Rich, poetic, and often delightfully strange, her songwriting feels like a mix of folk tradition and modern indie vulnerability. Whether she’s singing about surreal dreams, magical landscapes, or deeply personal revelations, every line invites listeners into her vivid world.

This isn’t minimalism — it’s maximalism with meaning. Every track is densely packed with hidden layers and offbeat charm that rewards repeat listens.
