VIMTV Album Review #422: Laura Marling – A Creature I Don’t Know

Jake: Highly Recommended, 86/100

Tom: Highly Recommended, 90/100

Verdict: An extremely impressive release from a young artist with a lot of promise.

Overview: Despite the fact she was only 21 when this album was released, Laura Marling sings with all the qualities of an old soul on A Creature I Don’t Know. All this, mixed with the seductive energy of her vocal performance, creates an album that is hard to stay away from. The songwriting is also consistently great and provides a lot of variety, and the production is perfect for the folk/country sound. This is an album that pretty much everyone should check out.
