Laura Marling - My Manic And I EP

Customer reviews
Press release

Laura Marling is a young small town girl from Eversley just outside of Reading. She began playing the guitar at the age of three, first being taught the blues by her father in front of the family fire, and has been in thrall to the songs and lyrics of the likes of Neil Young, Bob Dylan, James Taylor and Joni Mitchell ever since. It’s not just the “golden-oldies” that Laura admires; contemporary artists such as Vetiver, Bonnie Prince Billy, Regina Spektor and Diane Cluck rank highly in her current listening favourites. Following on from the success of the London Town EP Laura releases her second EP 'My Manic & I' on the back of a 12 date UK tour

5...according to Carolyn.

Her voice is very clear, feminine, and beautiful; and her lyrics are very poetic and visual, and slightly cryptic. Her songs have a great build and structure--guitar, strings, and slight percussion (folk-sounding) support her voice and add that emotion that you can't help but connect to. That, and there really is no 'line. chorus. line. chorus.' approach (with maybe the exception of 'Night Terror'.) Instead, it's like hearing a story being told--enough repetition to sing along too, but enough variation to be absolutely compelling.
