Laura Marling

It's not often Tally Ho towers sways gently in the wind to the sounds of a folk chanteuse. Indeed, we're usually found with our heads in the speakers as some west coast, wave-punching 60's heads smash the shit out of their instruments.

But Laura Marling's latest LP 'I Speak Because I Can' has inspired much introspective contemplation within these four walls.

Its only her second full length but it's as pretty as it is assured and defiant. Coasting between the ocean conquering pomp of first single 'Devil's Spoke', with its galloping instrumentation, reminiscent of Rum, Sodomy & The Lash era Pogues; to the rueful yet optimistic vibe of 'Goodbye England (covered in snow) the record is a true gem.
