Phone Orphans is the thirteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Laura Veirs, released on November 3, 2023, through Raven Marching Band.

[2] On September 18, 2023, Laura announced the release of her thirteenth studio album, along with the first single "Rocks of Time".

[4] PopMatters' Steve Horowitz stated that the album "works because of its roughness" as "Veirs offers her direct sensibility as a way to address her ignorance.

She has given the question serious thought and created art from the possibilities by singing, playing, and recording over the telephone late at night".

[5] Eric Mason of Slant Magazine opined that Phone Orphans' "acoustic arrangements, which consist mostly of guitar and conversational vocals, are delicate and bright, but its sparse instrumentation makes Veirs's preoccupation with death all the more unavoidable".
