Album Review: Laura Marling -- Short Movie

Coloured by experience – love that came and went, a move to California, then back to her safe European home – this is a different Laura Marling album, and not just because her plaintiveness sometimes comes with an electric band’s backing.  

At times she seems running on her nerves. I Feel Your Love is almost PJ Harvey-lite, but that’s no insult – it’s visceral, but maybe she doesn’t quite know herself as Polly did, sometimes blaming herself – Don’t Let Me Bring You Down – but there’s the feeling this is a transition piece, for a soul that remains unsettled, still searching.
