She left before dawn. Laura Marling checked out of a motel in Mount Shasta, California—a locale she feared was “an axe-murderer town”—and drove alone into the woods. When the road ended, she got out and walked in the dark. The British songwriter was following the directions of a stranger she’d met the night before in a bar. The man, a hippie, had told her about a river whose spring water bestows eternal life. She just wanted to fill her tankard and be on her way. More

Mar 25, 2015 By Stephen Humphries

When Laura Marling lived in L.A., a part of her died. Specifically, her ego. The British songwriter relocated to America soon after completing her fourth album, 2013’s Once I Was an Eagle (which became her third album to be nominated for a Mercury Prize). She moved in search of adventure—and got more than she bargained for. More

Oct 23, 2013 By Frank Valish

Feb 17, 2010 By Laura Studarus

At 20, Laura Marling possesses more grace and professional polish than I, at my decidedly more than 20 years, will ever have. However, with work that speaks for itself, shining amidst the London-based nu-folk scene that includes Noah and the Whale and Mumford & Sons, and hinting at a record collection filled with 1960s troubadours, age is a non-factor. Even if a post-gig drink during her recent North American Tour was out of the question. More

Oct 30, 2009 By Frank Valish

While former cohorts Noah and the Whale are busy with a grand launch of their new album/movie project, London singer-songwriter Laura Marling has opted to quietly debut songs from her own forthcoming sophomore album, due in early 2010, in a series of intimate concerts in small East coast U.S. venues this fall.
