Laura Marling, “Once”

Laura Marling, the 23-year-old English singer-songwriter who debuted with Alas I Cannot Swim in 2008 at the age of 18, released her fourth album, Once I Was An Eagle, yesterday. Here’s “Once,” which is just one selection from a very lovely collection. Marling recorded the entire album in a single week; the only instruments you’ll hear are Marling on guitar, her friend Ruth de Turberville on cello, and her producer Ethan Johns on percussion. You can hear some more tracks here and on Spotify.
