Measure

About Me

A fellow artist said, "The music does what every songwriter wishes their music could do: it hollows you out, then fills you back in. It breaks your heart and builds you a new one. It moves you."

Measure was born out of a long distance collaboration between singer/songwriter Laura Distasi and guitarist/producer/programmer David Little. Before ever having met face to face the two had already produced the songs that would act as the foundation for the sweeping, cinematic sound that has become Measure.

"Begin Again", Measure's debut EP released late April of 2008, is immediately accessible, vulnerable, and honest. The EP feels it's way though impressionistic landscapes, exploring the complex depth of relationships and change.. nostalgic, yet hopeful, that anything worth lamenting is, once was, or could be beautiful.
