Praise for Laura Marling:
"..every song is chillingly badass." - SPIN

"Marling casts her elliptical, dry-witted stories in sweeping, interlocking guitar movements played with gentle force." - Los Angeles Times

"She's closely attentive to the particulars of her folk songs, which allows them to reveal deeper and darker secrets with each listen and to resonate long after the record has stopped spinning." - Paste

"Marling has always sounded like an adult, even when she wasn't one. Now that she's got the actual years to back up her world-weary tone, she's all the more thrilling." - American Songwriter

EXITMUSIC * Saturday, June 16th @ Brooklyn Bowl

[exitmusic general- for email]Brooklyn duo Exitmusic – comprised of Devon Church and Aleksa Palladino – who released their stunning debut album, Passage, via Secretly Canadian last month, will be making a stop at Brooklyn Bowl on June 16th as part of The Northside Festival. The duo, who received critical raves for their four-song EP From Silence, has since then expanded their live lineup from two to four, adding drummer Dru Prentiss and keyboards / electronics player Nicholas Shelestak, to help bring their blistering songs new dimensions. According the NPR, “Passage … is a dark, sludgy beast of a record that slithers before it strikes. It broods and rumbles, full of anger and anguish and loneliness, before erupting in a squall of tortured release… one the most memorable and absorbing records you'll hear in 2012.”

Praise for Exitmusic:
“Insurgent, cinematic, and sometimes brilliant, Passage is an emotionally evocative record bearing sharp hooks, driven deep by heavy textures and broad dynamics. (7.6)” –Pitchfork

“Passage bristles with an emotional intensity that even the most heartless SOB would have trouble denying… has all the elements of a classic, from undeniable hooks to head-spinning shards of noise…” – Magnet

“With earnest piano, pulsing atmospherics and windswept vocals opening the album, the title track signals what’s to come and lets you know that, had there been a film, it would have certainly been a drama… Standout moments… establish that you won’t soon forget this ethereal passage, either.” –Filter
