point. 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…..</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(17, 17, 17); line-height: 24px; "><i>As these
16 subtly inventive songs unfold, her fearless, blood-and-guts earthiness makes room for warmth and openness that's even more complex and rewarding."</i> -

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Eagle</i></b>, she’d been “obsessively” collecting records from the year 1969. She was in the middle of a U.S. tour to promote her third album <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">A
Creature I Don’t Know</i>. She was about to let go of her band, feeling dislocated on the open road, and searching for what it meant to be an artist and a woman in the world at an age at which her contemporaries were in college.
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:
normal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Eagle</i></b> is a concept album, sort of. It follows a thread of mythology, lyrically and metaphorically. 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.</span></p>
