British folk sensation, Laura Marling has unveiled details of her third album ‘A Creature I Don’t Know’ which is set to be released on 12th of September. It follows the success of her Mercury nominated sophomore record ‘I Speak Because I Can’, a dark and thoughtful masterpiece that was without doubt one of my favourite records of 2010.
Last week Laura released a preview of her forthcoming record in the shape of the above YouTube teaser which hints at the albums polished beauty. Today I stumbled across this live recording of ‘Night After Night’ on The Ruckus. Lifted from ‘A Creature I Don’t Know’ and recorded at Housing Works in New York City on June 14, 2011, this wonderful song really highlights Laura’s fluid guitar playing and impassioned Leonard Cohen-esque vocal delivery. This is folk at it’s finest
