After the sweet acoustics of ‘Alas I Cannot Swim’ and the slick
‘I Speak Because I Can’, Laura Marling put forward her most assured and coherent album
yet. It tells of a demon Laura battles in her mind on ‘The Muse’ and in her bed
on the rumbling electrics of ‘The Beast’. From the Dylan-esque ‘Salinas’ to the Leonard Cohen lilt of ‘Night After Night’, Laura grows in the shadow of the greats. But by triumphant Celtic finale ‘All My Rage’ she’s won her battle, and begun to step out alongside those heroes for the first time. HS
