Laura Marling has unveiled another preview track for upcoming LP “Short Movie” called “Strange”.
It’s a lighty country-folk ditty with a tribal beat, it’s a lot simpler than some of the noises showcased by Laura Marling so far. Marling has shared a wonderfully eccentric new song, ‘Strange’, from her forthcoming album. .
‘Strange’, is taken from Marling’s fifth album, Short Movie – which is released later this month.
The song, which follows ‘False Hope’ and the album’s title track, continues to mark a significant departure from Laura Marling’s previous work. Though the same can arguably be said for every album she’s released, this one is particularly marked.
‘Strange’ sees Marling relish a strange and playful tone and cadence as she lilts between speaking and singing. Its lyrics are equal parts dark and self-deprecatingly brutal: “And I try and bring meaning to all things / And as I try to take you in I cant wait to be alone. Then you fall in love with me / And your love becomes my responsibility / And I can never do you wrong.”
Laura Marling’s fifth album record Short Movie is out on 23rd March via Virgin/EMI Records.
