Ahead of the release of her new album ‘Short Movie‘ in March, Laura Marling will return to the UK for a short run of live shows from the end of this month.
Marling has spent a lot of time in Los Angeles since the release of ‘Once I Was An Eagle‘ in 2013, but is back shortly to play shows at the Hebden Bridge Trades Club on January 28th, the Silver Bullet in London on January 31st and, moving in to February, gigs at the Edinburgh Caves on the 4th and the Bristol Thekla 7th.
“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,” our review concludes. “Laura Marling speaks the truth about herself. That’s heart-wrenchingly hard for any human being, never mind a songwriter.”
“Any old fool can write songs about what you really, really want – love, money, fame, wisdom. It takes a courage like Laura Marling’s to write songs about who you really are.”
