Laura Marling has premiered the video for ‘Devil’s Resting Place‘ – the latest track to be lifted from her 2013 fourth studio album ‘Once I Was An Eagle‘. Have a watch below.
A recent Mercury Prize nominee, the album was praised in Live4ever’s review as, ‘Unleashing elements of surprise and experience’ on the listener.
“Sometimes it’s the words – the aching longing for something easier or bitter remembrances of hurt,” the article continues. “Sometimes it’s the voice, that eerie Marlene Dietrich murmur that lends a cynical, world-weary slant on songs that are coming from a 23 year old woman. By any other standards than her own, these songs would sound conceited, even precocious. But they are her standards. And they are her songs. We can hear it in the music.”
“We don’t need to know the myth to understand Laura Marling. ‘Once I Was An Eagle’ is the wind howling at your window in the dead of night; it’s rejecting the lies you can’t make yourself believe. Laura Marling speaks the truth about herself. That’s heart-wrenchingly hard for any human being, never mind a songwriter.”
