Description

Laura Marling’s exquisite seventh album ‘Song For Our Daughter’ arrived in 2020 almost without preamble or warning in the midst of uncharted global chaos, and yet instantly and tenderly offered a sense of purpose, clarity and calm. As a balm for the soul, this full-blooded collection could be posited as Laura’s richest to date, but in truth it’s another incredibly fine record by a British artist who rarely strays from delivering incredibly fine records.

Taking much of the production reins herself, alongside long-time collaborators Ethan Johns and Dom Monks, Laura has layered up lush string arrangements and a broad sense of scale to these songs without losing any of the intimacy or reverence we’ve come to anticipate and almost take for granted from her throughout the past decade.
