What the label says:
The third release on the ultra-hot Way Out West label is by Laura Marling. She may be young, but she certainly isn’t dumb. The 17-year-old small-town girl – from Eversely, just outside Reading – doesn’t just sing about love, lust and romance but of the futility of religion, self-loathing and human psychology.
An alt-folk star in the ascendant, whose striking melodies and wise-beyond-her-years vocals could melt even the iciest of hearts, Laura Marling muddles the strength of Regina Spektor with the intelligence of Carole King and the acoustic lushness of Joni Mitchell. She began playing the guitar at the age of three, first being taught the blues by her father in front of the family fire, and has been in thrall to the songs and lyrics of the likes of Neil Young, Bob Dylan, James Taylor and John Mayall ever since.
