Memory & Desire (2020)
Memory & Desire was born out of uncertainty, and came from epiphanies of hope between the questions. It is an album for the liminal space, the in-between times of transition, caught between what was and what will be.
As Lauren Mann’s fourth album, and decisively her most honest and vulnerable, Memory & Desire chronicles the years following her last release Dearestly with the ending of a marriage, the rediscovery of self, and the exploration of love, community, and meaning. It is, in a sense, a time capsule, but it is also a universal narrative of the human condition.
Dearestly (2016)
“Honest and affectionate, with a little bit of whimsy.”
Where the Ocean Meets the Sky: A Visual EP (2014)
Shot and recorded live on Pender Island BC, Where the Oceans Meets the Sky: A Visual EP is a journey into new music with Lauren Mann and the Fairly Odd Folk.
The project consists of six songs filmed in six different locations across Pender Island over the course of five days. The concept was to release new music in a way that would be complimentary to the next full length record, instead of taking away from it.
All audio was recorded live on location, and no over-dubs or studio tricks were added.
Over Land and Sea (2012)
This album was recorded in March/April 2011 with Aaron Marsh (Copeland, Lydia, Person L) at the Vanguard Room in Lakeland FL, originally released in May 2012, and re-released on a record label that we started, Wanderer Records, in April 2013.
Stories From Home (2010)
Stories From Home is a collection of home recordings that first appeared on two different demo CDs: the Lauren Mann EP and the Lost and Found EP. The songs were written and recorded between 2006 and 2009 and tell the tales of years past and are a prelude of what is to come.
Available on iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify as well as CD.
