I have previously mentioned her on P&P, but this is the first opportunity to post a track from one of my favorite musicians around, Laura Marling. I’m really excited for her third album A Creature I Don’t Know, which will be out in September and single “Sophia” maybe gives us a hint at what it will sound like, with a definite addition of some country sounding elements to the base British folk sound that Laura does so well.
In addition to a new album, Laura Marling will be embarking on the “When The Bells Toll Tour” (tickets on sale Friday morning) of the US, Canada and the UK, so go see her live, and if you could stroke her for me (preferably face), that would be weird much appreciated. The idea of the tour is
to play an extensive run of shows in some of each country’s oldest, sometimes eeriest, and often beautiful buildings (and if not beautiful, then at least with a tale to tell of it)…
Stream “Sophia” below, and then if you so wish, buy the single or pre-order the whole album here. Hit the jump for the tour dates.
