This week, after a two-year break from the spotlight (as much spotlight as she ever tolerated, that is) Laura Marling released her fifth album, Short Movie. There is a song on Laura Marling’s new album which bottles despair and keeps it airtight, like a storm cloud in a glass dome. With their debut album ‘Moveys’ out next month, meet the Chicago-based newcomers. From her precocious debut album at the tender age of 18 to her fifth at the ripe old age of 25, here are the 17 greatest Laura Marling tracks, ranked. 1.
Her headlining set at the BBC 6Music Festival, hosted in 2016 by the city of Bristol, is just one example of many: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzIq2d76RoU.
It's a beautiful and brutal album, which marks a sense of progress that more than warrants her time away. 'Devil's Spoke': Dark and atmospheric, this from Marling's second album marked a significant departure from the English-accented simplicity of her debut.

Seven albums in and imbued with a strain of often world-weary wisdom normally reserved for those edging closer to retirement, it’s hard to wrangle with the idea that Laura Marling has only just turned 30. An accomplished live performer since the age of 16 (who was once made to leave her own gig because she was too young to be allowed in the venue, and instead played on the street), Marling has released seven full length albums as of 2020, going from strength to strength each time. Just seven years later, having recently turned 25, she released Short Movie—her 5th full album. Scrobbling is when Last.fm tracks the music you listen to and automatically adds it to your music profile. That's no surprise though - one of Marling's most defining musical characteristics is her tendency to re-invent herself with each album, whilst remaining honest and recognisable. She lived for some time in Los Angeles, but moved back to London in 2014. 'Gurdjieff's Daughter': Look hard enough on YouTube and you can hear Marling's endearingly convoluted explanation of this song, which uses left-field cultural figures as a means to give some pretty important life advice.
