Laura Marling returns with her third album, 'A Creature I Don't Know' on September 12th, yesterday the first single had it's debut on Radio One and you can now listen to it below.
"Sophia" bears all Marling's trademarks, aching vocals instantly take to centre stage. The track starts slowly but gently and surely the tone of her voice and finger-plucking increases, driving acoustic propulsion gradually raising the tempo before her band enter taking the track to its climax with a rousing and beautiful crescendo.
The arrangement is amazing throughout, her voice from tender gorgeous to powerful certainty over the course of a few lines, it's certainly enough to wet the appetite. Listen:
