EW's GRADE
B+

Details Release Date: Aug 23, 2005; Lead Performance: Laura Veirs; Genre: Folk

Laura Veirs' lyrics — mysterious narratives filled with celestial events and aquatic themes — elevate the enchanting Year of Meteors from the standard alt-folk confessional. Even better, she's got pop smarts, which makes this CD a rare combo: thoughtful and hummable.
