As the old cliché goesLaura Marling quietly burst onto the music scene with her hushed and beautiful Alas I Can-not Swim 2008 debut. It was Mercury Prize-nominated and Triple J feature album. Just last year, our dear Laura returned with a bit more more fire in her belly with I Speak Because I Can, produced by Ethan Johns (King of Le-ons, Emmylou Harris, Ryan Adams). The album debuted at #7 on the ARIA chart and again was a Triple J feature album and garnered Laura another Mercury nomination and she won BRIT Award for Best British Female Artist and NME Award for Best Solo Artist.
Now at just 21 years old, she releases her third and most provocative album yet, A Creature I Don't Know. She joined forces again with Ethan Johns and it is proving a fruitful creative relationship as it sees Laura delve deeper into a folk rock sound.
Laura Marling's third album is less a total reinvention than a subtle maturation, a stretching out to the ex-tent of her reach in all directions. it's also a record with more weight, darkness, humour and playfulness than ever before, her rockiest and jazziest moments yet, but also her most accessible sound.
