Laura Marling's, Alas I Cannot Swim, is sung in the most lilting of voices. Wonderful lyrics and music that is heartfelt and poignant.

CD Reviews

Not Joni Mitchell (thank God)

M. Northuis | Greensboro, NC USA | 04/02/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Like Peter Savage "seriously" (see his review of this CD) I found the Joni comparissons to be unfounded and must admit that the first time through I found the CD to be a bit dry/thin.

Unlike Mr. Savage I listened to Ms. Marling's CD a few times and found that it was

brilliantly written- containing sly humor and a mature and poetic worldview that belies her young age.

Mr. Savage's folk roots may be in order but in my book Ms. Marling along with Johnny Flynn and Fionn Regan are the future of true British Isles Folk. Listen to this deceptively simple CD until you "GET IT", it's worth it."

Impressive Debut

"Gobsmacked, am I , to discover this recording is by an 18 year-old. The sound of the arrangements and the depth of writing reveals a maturity, I doubt even Joni possessed at this age. Hardly the narcissistic bleatings that are the repetitive strain of the teen idiom. Not a weak link amongst the lot. Definitely a talent to watch, nurture and enjoy."
