Laura Barrett has been played on NTS in shows including The Virtual Womb Network w/ Maylee Todd & MALOO, featured first on 24 March 2022. Songs played include Robot Ponies.

Laura first played a kalimba in front of real live people in August 2005. Since then, she's released an EP called "Earth Sciences" and played shows with wonderful musicians in cities of varying distances from Toronto. On her myspace page, Barrett says in her own words she's "a classically-trained pianist and self-taught everything else-ist." She's "currently focusing on a solo kalimba project, wherein [she sings] whimsical ditties about amorphous terror, planned obsolescence, and mind-body dualism."

Her independently-released EP, "Earth Sciences," is being re-issued by Paper Bag Records on February 25th.

At Soundscapes in Toronto, you can find her second EP, "Ursula" (Ta Da! Records), which features the hugely talented Richard Carnegie on double bass, and a music video for "Robot Ponies."
