2011 has been a great year for Laura Marling. At just 21-years-old, the young folk musician has already released three albums, won two BRIT awards for Best British Female and Best Solo Artist earlier this year and has in the past collaborated with Mystery Jets and indie folk band, Noah And The Whale. Her latest release, ‘A Creature I Don’t Know’, has further cemented her reputation as one of modern indie’s royalty, and what a great album it is.
