Watch Laura Marling showcase ‘Strange’ in ‘Short Movie’ session
DIY cover star performs a take from her latest album.
Earlier this year, Laura Marling and her full backing band hitched up in a spacious studio and filmed session cuts from the new album ‘Short Movie’.
The follow-up to ‘Once I Was An Eagle’ came out back in March, but footage has now emerged of Marling showcasing ‘Strange’ from the LP. An upfront, breathless highlight from the record, it sounds even better in the company of old-school equipment and a great, gaping space.
Watch Marling showcase ‘Strange’ below. The summer, she plays Latitude, Somersault and Newport Folk Festival.
Catch up with DIY’s Laura Marling cover feature here.
Laura Marling will play Latitude (16th-19th July), where DIY is an official media partner. Tickets are on sale now. Visit diymag.com/presents for more information.
