This is the follow-up to Marling's 2008 'Alas I Cannot Swim' and after buying this album on a whim I was thrilled when I listened to it for the first time. It really is a wonderful album. This is modern-day, sophisticated folk music and Laura Marling sings with great maturity and passion about her transition from a girl into an independent woman. It is an incredibly emotive album and I doubt anyone will be able to refrain from tapping their foot along to the insistant beat. Absolutely my favourite album of 2010.
