It's not a cry you can hear at night, it's not somebody who's seen the light...

My beautiful friend Elva (Ashes of Eve) is working on a solo project. So here be pimping.

If you join the mailing list you receive a link for a free download of the newly re-recorded When I'm Sleeping.

If you want to hear some of her gorgeous music, head on over to http://www.reverbnation.com/elvamusic and you can listen to When I'm Sleeping and Moment (which I currently have on repeat because it's so amazingly gorgeous). Every play helps her out, so have a listen!

And a Facebook link too, just because http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Elva/158295504223274

Dear Alina,

Please don't kill me for this. I am doing it because you are amazing. (And I love Hera. But I mostly love you.)

Love,

Lara!

SO this is a quote from the blog of one Hera Hjartardottir (http://www.herasings.com/blog which has lovely photos of Hera at Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer's artperformance wedding flashmob thing!) The amazing, Christhurch (via Iceland) singer/songwriter the LFoD likes to stalk.

And for those of you frustrated with the Icelandic interview... here is not a translation, but a documentary! by the super lovely Alina White, who contacted me a few months ago about doing this, it was her project for film school (- the school of fine arts, university of Canterbury.) She's also an awesome artist! Here it is in two parts :) xo

And Ali informed us that the song at the end was her suggestion and her favourite. It's gorgeous and I WANT A RECORDING. Makebelieve Girl is close to my livejournal's title (it's artificial girl, but close enough).
