July Flame is American singer-songwriter Laura Veirs' seventh studio album, released on January 12, 2010.
The title comes from a type of peach Veirs saw at a farmer's market.[1] Jim James of American rock band My Morning Jacket contributes falsetto harmonies on several tracks.[1]
Reviews of July Flame have been favorable. The Independent calls it an "obliquely beautiful record, as they tend to be. Poetic and simple".[2]. The New York Times says it is " full of layered folk and indie-rock bucolia and plain-spoken but stretchy-thinking language" and "there are some great, seemingly unforced, séancelike moments here".[3] The Guardian praises the album as "so extravagantly beautiful that it will send you scurrying back to its predecessors".[4] Entertainment Weekly writes that the album "sends us on hikes through dreamy landscapes evoked by her uniquely tangy voice, casting minimal instrumentation in glistening arrangements to captivate the melancholy imagination"[5] Paste Magazine proclaims that the album is Veirs "finest work", and says "It's hard to imagine a better soundtrack to the chilly months than this collection of heady, steady, pensive songs".[6]
