Laura Palmer formed in New York City in the early 2000s, taking their name from the character in 'Twin Peaks.' The original lineup included vocalist Karen O, guitarist Nick Zinner, bassist Brian Chase, and keyboardist Jimmy Tamborello. Their sound pulled from indie rock and dream pop, with Karen O's vocals layered over Zinner's guitar work.
Their debut album 'Scarlett O'Hara' came out in 2003, with the title track becoming a notable song for the band. They followed with albums in 2006, 2009, and 2012. The music often had an ethereal quality, though it could drift into more experimental territory.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
