La Grande (album)

La Grande is the third studio album by American musician Laura Gibson.

[1] Gibson wrote the album after spending time in the city of La Grande, Oregon, which served as a basis for the majority of its songs.

[2] The album's title track was given a music video released in February 2012.

[5] James Skinner of BBC gave the album a positive review, writing: "This gem of a long-player – both sleepy and steely, mystical yet rooted in very real and universal themes – deserves all the plaudits that will hopefully meet its release.

"[6] Pitchfork also gave the album a positive review, rating it 7.4 out of 10, and writing: "One wouldn't expect Gibson's latest to bowl over any audiophile chasing the wow!-factor, but for the patient, contemplative listener, La Grande-- much like the campfire depicted on its cover-- is a record worth warming to.
