Laura Marling has unveiled a second track due to feature on her new album ‘Short Movie‘ after the quite brilliant title-track was similarly premiered last month.
‘False Hope‘ received its first play on Zane Lowe’s BBC Radio 1 show, when Marling told the DJ: “I wrote ‘False Hope’ shortly after a trip to Manhattan during Hurricane Sandy, which was quite an experience.So it’s related to that – it was nearly post-apocalyptic. I was in quite a transient place in a foreign country.”
‘Short Movie’ is out on March 23rd, succeeding 2013’s ‘Once I Was An Eagle‘, of which our review begins: “Whatever we expected of Laura Marling after ‘A Creature I Don’t Know’, wherever we thought that jazzy folk jam sound of hers was heading, we were wrong.”
“Wonderfully, presumptuously, deaf-eared wrong. Laura Marling doesn’t do linear progression. She doesn’t do predictable, and you’d be somewhat disappointed if you thought she did simple love songs.”
