Laura Marling returns with her new album Short Movie, which will be released through Caroline Australia / Virgin Records on March 20th 2015.

Short Movie is Laura’s fifth album in seven years, which is a remarkable achievement for someone who has yet to turn 25 years old.

This album marks a new chapter in Laura’s sound and development, this record moving towards a much bigger and electric feel, it’s a much freer and looser sounding album than anything she has done before.

Marling’s fifth album Short Movie is the result of an extended period of reflection and a conscious attempt to change routine. “I realised that I hadn’t been in place for longer than two or three weeks since I was 16,” she explains, “I thought I wonder what will happen if I try and root myself somewhere? Look back over the past eight years.”

Short Movie is Laura’s first self-produced album with co-credit to her long time drummer Matt Ingram and studio engineer Dan Cox. It was a pleasant but anxious experience for her but one she boldly undertook with a desire to ‘demystify production’. Recording at Urchin studio in London she was joined by her long-time collaborator and friend Ruth De Turberville on cello, Nick Pini on bass and Tom Hobden.

Laura has been nominated for the Mercury Prize three times; she has also been nominated for two Brit Awards (winning best female in 2011). Laura has had a long affinity with Australia, wowing local audiences on numerous tours, most recently at her sold out Heavenly Sounds run of intimate churches along the East Coast.
