  LAURA MARLING ANNOUNCES COAST TO COAST TOUR
First Live Dates In Support Of Once I Was An Eagle
[cid:4EBBA5A5-32CB-4315-8AE9-00E28A862977 at hq.pressherepublicity.com]
Laura Marling’s much buzzed about fourth album, Once I Was An Eagle, will be released on Ribbon Music on May 28th. The BRIT Award-winning, two time Mercury Prize nominee - who recently celebrated her 23rd birthday - will be making an acoustic solo jaunt across the country for a series of intimate shows in May. Her new album is shaping up to be not only the most acclaimed of Marling’s already illustrious career, but one of 2013’s most highly praised releases.
Once I Was An Eagle enlisted producer Ethan Johns who helped Marling deliver a hugely impressive and deeply personal album. Yet more impressive is that Marling recorded all of the guitar and vocals parts in one day, spending a further nine days rounding out the record.  Eagle’s release follows Marling’s relocation from London to the hills of Los Angeles where she’s made herself a home away from home. The album was heavily influenced by her time touring the US and, in particular, her enchantment with the West Coast. Lyrically the album follows a thread of mythology. An eagle and a dove, the devil, and the sea populate her cast of characters; soundscapes ebb and flow like an epic plot, or, for that matter, an epic road trip across the States. It’s a record for the ages. Released at the age of 23.

Early Praise for Once I Was An Eagle:
“If the UK folkie writes songs this good at 23, how amazing is she going to be in another decade or two? – Rolling Stone
“It’s the sweet sound of this unique talent evolving and it’s utterly captivating. 4 Stars” – Mojo
“Laura Marling possesses a certain kind of ageless poise that makes your jaw drop..” – Pitchfork
“Britain’s finest young singer/songwriter. 9/10” - Uncut
“Refreshed. Rejuvenated. Dangerous. Laura Marling in 2013 is gonna tear you to shreds.” – NME
“This is one of those rare records where you neither know nor particularly care which track you’re on, consumed in its sprawling, hour-long meditative moment.” – Q Magazine
“On “Master Hunter”, UK singer-songwriter Laura Marling broils with a palpable authoritative toughness, making for a song that’s decidedly more fiery rock than tender folk.” – Consequence of Sound
“Marling must now be considered one of the greatest singer songwriters of her generation and generations before.” – Clash Magazine
“The new album, Once I Was an Eagle, is her best and most coherent to date, a 16-track, one-plot blockbuster in which Marling explores the settlements and compromises and (finally) rewards of new love.” – The Guardian
