<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><b><i><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">Short Movie</span></i></b><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"> is Marling’s fifth album in seven years, a remarkable achievement for someone who has yet to
reach her 25<sup>th</sup> 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 </span><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">esteemed </span><b><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">Mercury
Music Prize</span></b><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"> and she is a two-time <b>BRIT Award</b> 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 <b><i>NME</i></b> <b>Awards</b>. </span></p>

electric guitar. Along with plugging in for the first time, </span><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">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.
