Laura Marling

Sometimes I can work to music and sometimes I have to have total silence. Nevertheless, even if I am in the latter mood, I can still work happily to Laura Marling.

I was introduced to her album 'Alas I cannot swim' last year by my (much cooler) friend and co-host of our student radio show and I was immediately mesmerized. Every single song is beautifully composed with what I can only describe as a chilling edge. She has the ability to make a really complex chord pattern sound so simple. Her voice is uniquely wonderful.

This morning, I woke up singing the chorus to this song and I knew I'd have to listen to her album during this morning's writing session. Enjoy! xxx
