Laura Marling: Patterns in repetition [Chrysalis/Partisan]
Laura Marling's first album in four years is a treasure trove of nocturnal ballads and introspective lullabies recorded in her bedroom with her newborn daughter. Patterns in repetitionof the British singer and songwriter The song for our daughter the follow-up is filled with finger-picking reflections on parenthood and family psychology—informed by her recently completed master's degree in psychoanalysis—as well as aging and romance, in songs like the Leonard Cohen-esque “Caroline” or thoughtful “Looking Back,” adapted from a song her father wrote in his youth about aging.
