15 years ago I covered my fave Christmas song and made a video starring my beloved lil dog Mister Benji. He's been gone for almost exactly 4 years now so I especially enjoy watching us dance together in the snow every year :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vcq7...

Look, I tried… Still think I did a better job than Charles. Barely edited, barely sober, but I mean all of it. Merry Christmas you utter twats. youtu.be/98wMBt1vnvo?...

The fictional prequel to the biggest Christmas banger of all time, a festive tale of love, understanding and the particular resignation that, when you break a songwriter’s heart, they’re probably going to write about it. It's "Our Last Christmas": penfriend.rocks/our-last-chr... 🎁 🎄 🤶

Who's up for an indie rock Christmas tune that's a fictional prequel to one of the biggest Christmas hits ever?

"You made a fuss of cooking But something won't compute You seem to like my brother And I think your sister's cute It's our last Christmas Our last Christmas" youtu.be/XajVEHJJ-iQ?...

We wrote a good chunk of a new song this afternoon didn’t we Roxyyyyyyyohyou’resuchaprincessssss

Hello you! I have a free album for you! penfriendrocks.bandcamp.com/album/the-gh... Before heading out on my first support tour in SIX YEARS I warmed up my set with a livestream from my attic. 8 songs + silliness. Pay what you can if free isn’t right for you ❤️

#gigface The Launchpad! My (online) warmup show for upcoming tourdates with @theagilmore.bsky.social was attended by some of the sweetest music fans going, thank you all ❤️

Scrolling around for some human connection this evening? I'm playing a FREE online gig in 5 minutes and you can join us right now in the live chat:

I’ve seen some idiotic pricing of gig tickets over the years but just read that the (pre fees) price for Robbie Williams at Barrowlands was £137!!! 😂😂😂😂

Thanks @siobhansiobhan.bsky.social 🥳

Numbers schmumbers (generally speaking) but wow. WOW. This has me beaming today. Thank you!!! More videos, then?

When I wrote this song I didn't know if I'd ever play a gig in a room with people again... This version of "Disco Loadout" is available for 7 more days: penfriendrocks.bandcamp.com/album/deepfa... FREE / pay what you can ❤️

If you're not out at a gig tonight but you wish you were, I've got you covered: penfriendrocks.bandcamp.com/album/deepfa...

– a collection of 8 human-written and human-performed songs plus friendly chat. A warm and welcoming live experience for you to enjoy whenever and wherever you like. This album will be available for just 10 days so go go go! Love, Laura xxx penfriendrocks.bandcamp.com/album/deepfa...

It's ironic that this happened during a very real, very live music performance, but the internet can be a strange and wonderful place and I always enjoy unearthing an unusual title for my live albums. And so I present "Deepfake Detected" penfriendrocks.bandcamp.com/album/deepfa... ➡️

Uh oh, I’ve been rumbled! During Wednesday night's online gig I was accused of being a "deepfake" by an audience member's privacy protection software. ➡️

One hour til I play a FREE online gig! Join me from 8pm GMT right here (or you can use the same link to watch later):

Nothing beats the feeling of finishing a song that didn't exist two days ago and listening back LOUD. I fucking love making music and I'm SO thankful to get to do it as my job. THANK YOU MUSIC FANS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

I enjoyed hearing Warpaint’s “Billie Holiday” for the first time in ages. You can listen back to the whole show on BBC Sounds. I’m really excited to share new album Thaw on Nov 14th on all the usuals and the rest.

The guitar loop for Dead Nettle was recorded with @lordrosstopher in Chime, the middle 8 fts some of @thecrowhillcompany ‘s Glass Strings, mastered by @edwoodsmasters

www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... Massive thank you for premiering my new song “Dead Nettle” on BBC Radio Scotland @vic_galloway 🥳🍾 Thanks for the shout-out for my upcoming Edinburgh and Glasgow headline shows too with @regularmusicuk

What are you doing tomorrow (Wednesday) at 8pm GMT? I'll be kicking off a cosy online gig, performing songs and having a chat with you live from The Launchpad! It's FREE to attend, and all you have to do is tap here to watch live or watch later: www.youtube.com/live/hTdOlWi...

Since 2020 I’ve been sharing videos about my experiments in music, art and life. Start here: youtu.be/2hbHwKscMRY

An early morning adventure – you never know what you'll find (and it's always worth trying) youtu.be/UkvOmk1COkg

Today I am working on the next song in my Par Avion project! I'm delivering a new song on the first of every month to my subscribers, and as of this moment I have no idea what I'm sending out this Saturday. Gotta love a deadline. Right, back to the attic I go! Have an ace day yourself xo

I’m not for everyone, and I’m fine with that. My music certainly isn’t for everyone. I’m fine with that too. I don’t expect everyone on the internet to like me. And I’m absolutely fine with that. Cut to today -> penfriend.rocks/im-not-for-e...

I still can't believe the people I got to talk to for my podcast during the pandemic, and it's so fun to see them flying high now! Listen to me chat to Nova Twins, Self Esteem, Mary Spender and many more about creativity, grit and determination penfriend.rocks/podcast

I've been banging the make-sure-you-have-a-website drum for 15+ years, and I just tidied mine up! I'm Laura. I produce sad songs to make you feel better, sharing videos and blog posts every week on the magic of creativity and my experiments in art, music and life. 🎁 for you: penfriend.rocks

The only way to feel good about creativity is to practise it: penfriend.rocks/practise-mak... "Sitting here in the dark silence of early morning, wrapped in a blanket, with the wifi turned off on my laptop, listening to the tip tap of my fingers on the keys, is making me very happy."

Because "shy bairns get nowt", today I have done three slightly scary things to try and get different and interesting stuff happening in my music career in 2026. Feels good! I also cleared up a very messy post-tour office this morning, and ran around a lake. I think all these things are connected.

Rain on my cheek So tired of pretending I'm getting lost again Sea legs are weak The tide's neverending Capsized my only friend I'm going nowhere youtu.be/cTLtVllBBVo?...

Type 0 at checkout or pay what you want. CDs and vinyl available if you prefer! I’m so proud of this record and excited for you to hear it. You’re very welcome to share this with a friend if you already have it - thank you xxx

🎁 FREE FULL ALBUM DOWNLOAD HERE penfriendrocks.bandcamp.com/album/house-... Last chance for a freebie! This gift will be available til Monday morning 10am - I don’t want anyone to miss out so I’m extending it slightly x ➡️
