Laura will be touring North America later this month. Dates are below. 

"A Creature I Don't Know" is Laura's third album and her most critically acclaimed to date. Still only 21 years old Laura is the fast rising star of the British music scene with two consecutive Mercury Music Prize nominations, a 2011 BRIT AWARD (UK equivalent) for Best Female Artist and the 2011 NME SHOCKWAVES AWARD for Best Solo Artist. "A Creature I Don't Know" was produced by Ethan Johns. Artwork is attached.

Praise for "A Creature I Don't Know":

"Three albums into her career - her new one and her best is released on Sep 13 - it's no longer news that Ms. Marling, now 21, sounds startlingly grown up, with a dusky voice and songs that conjure fables and revelations alongside piercing human insights...Marling has gone deeper, making her arrangements more volatile as her songs grow bolder. Much of the music still revolves around her lustrous voice and her acoustic guitar, flanked by cell and banjo." - Jon Pareles in the New York Times

“…every song is chillingly badass” – Spin

"Britain's greatest singer-songwriter. Remarkable." - NME 

"'A Creature I Don't Know' ebbs beautifully, navigating emotional whirlpools with deft twists...her star power remains undiminished." (4 Stars) - Q Magazine

 "No longer do Marling's songs avert their gaze. Instead, they come straight at you, borne on a richer-hued voice that comes from deeper within, dredging up more challenging material."(4 Stars) - Mojo 

“It’s deeply impressive….the songs and performances are stronger and more consistent than ever before….we should simply savour the sound of an artist setting herself new targets and hitting each one with real panache.” (4 Stars) - Uncut

"Those who fell for Joni Mitchell's 1974 'Court and Spark' will find similar charm, ache, and genius in British folksinger Laura Marling's new album...(this) collection of melodic riffs and self-reflective lyrics are as pretty as they are cerebral, making her a standout in the frozen tundra of female lyricists." - Elle
