'Vespers' is an album about tragedy. It is the record of a life and death, an act of devotion and reflection. Liz Lawrence wrote these songs in the ashes of disaster. "It is dedicated to my beautiful sister Jessie and her too-short life."
"I wanted someone to be able to say to a friend who is grieving that they should listen to 'Vespers'. I want people to come to this record. I want people to use this record. I want it to have purpose, to give comfort and catharsis "Liz says.
'Vespers' is unvarnished, spare and elegiac, a testament of life and death. "The album is very specifically about my sister and my family's situation, but equally, that is universal".
In wrapping up the harsh demands of life in the plain warmth of love, it is a romantic and frank finale 'Thank God For You', offering some of the comfort and catharsis that she hopes Vespers will offer to others, too.
Liz Lawrence is a British artist, multi- instrumentalist, and producer. Her work has earned praise across radio and press and continues to mark her out as one of the UK's most quietly compelling indie storytellers.
Vespers is the fifth album by Liz Lawrence, following Peanuts, The Avalanche, Pity Party and Bedroom Hero.
