Laura recently discussed more about Short Movie with The Fader. PRESS HERE<http://www.thefader.com/2015/02/10/laura-marling-short-movie-interview> to read the interview.

Short Movie is Marling’s fifth album in seven years, a remarkable achievement for someone who has yet to reach her 25th birthday. Recording since the age of 17, Marling's flawless output has established her as one of the most respected artists of her generation. Three of her albums have been nominated for the esteemed Mercury Music Prize and she is a two-time BRIT Award nominee, winning the UK’s GRAMMY-equivalent for “Best British Female Artist” in 2011. That same year she beat out an array of international talent to the title of “Best Solo Artist” at the NME Awards.

Short Movie sees Marling moving into new musical territory and may surprise fans with its prevalence of electric guitar. Along with plugging in for the first time, Marling chose to produce the album herself. She pushed her band to record live and insisted the string players perform "blind", only hearing each track once before recording their parts. The result is a far bigger, bolder and looser sounding album than any of its predecessors.

Marling co-produced the album with her drummer Matt Ingram and studio engineer Dan Cox. Recorded at Urchin Studios in London, she was joined by her longtime collaborator and friend Ruth De Turberville on cello, Nick Pini on bass and Tom Hobden.

Tour Dates:
March 17-20           Austin, TX @ SXSW
March 23                 Brooklyn, NY @ Warsaw <http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=5688225>

Praise for Laura Marling:

“Marling is the most compelling singer-songwriter of the U.K. roots-revival scene, with a voice that conjures young Joni Mitchell<http://www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/joni-mitchell>.” – Rolling Stone
“Her songwriting brings together the diaristic and the mythical. Her voice is full of grown-up depth and subtleties….and she has the guitar virtuosity for arrangements that are resonant, intricate and propulsive.” – Jon Pareles, The New York Times
“Marling's songs dig well beyond the everyday, with each sung in a wise, dusky, brooding voice that always seems in control of its surroundings.” – NPR
“(Once I Was An Eagle) puts her well ahead of almost any twentysomething singer-songwriter peer working today.” – Los Angeles Times
