It’s January 24th! It’s a big day. Today, Laura Gibson’s new album La Grande is available to all the ears in the entire world. Lots of you may have already given the album a hear-see a few weeks back when NPR Music threw down their exclusive first listen, but a thing this nice deserves a many more run-throughs. Be sure to make it happen. You can, of course, grab the album off of iTunes, but it is offered by Barsuk on vinyl too (and CD as well if that’s still your thing).

I had the privilege a few months ago of shooting some promo photos with Ms. Gibson for La Grande, and so to mark this occasion, here are a few that have almost never been seen before. Look at them, and then realize how much you’d love to listen to Laura Gibson right about now.

I know I would.
