#39 | LAURA MARLING | Song For Our Daughter
Chrysalis/Partisan | Official Store
According to Steven Ovadia: “On Song For Our Daughter, Marling uses the traditional musical tools of folk and makes subtle adjustments to each roll of the album's beautiful ten songs….Subtlety is sometimes used as a proxy for dull. Song For Our Daughter isn't dull; it's certainly mellow, but that's what makes the subtlety pop. The little electric guitar runs and accordion flourishes feel huge when peeking out of Marling's quiet songs. The low-key production also allows Marling's voice to take its rightful place at the center of each song, on a collision course with just the right pin.”
