Laura Marling – Devil’s Spoke (Youtube)

Apologies for an absence from blogging which has been rather longer than I would have liked, but the twin attacks of no home internet and some really rather fantastic work have double teamed me. Regardless, I’m back now, and serving up an amazing new track by Laura Marling.

I still find it hard to believe she was born in 1990, because the music she’s making has a maturity to it that comes through in leaps and bounds. Devil’s Spoke is a swooning, swirling track with a pummeling guitar line.

If you liked her previous tracks, such as Night Terror you might be taken aback by this one, but in a good way. A beautiful folky way to spend three minutes.
