A man once said, “Writing about music is like dancing about architecture”, but if pushed to describe her sound it would be like this: Imagine if Kimya Dawson was English and wrote folk inspired songs with Lou Reed. Then that would be a mildly accurate description of Lora.
On stage she has a certain charm, maybe it's her auburn hair, maybe it's her penchant for knitwear or maybe it's because her songs say something to audiences, nothing too loud, but enough so that even the rowdiest crowd will turn and listen. That is something.
