I love Marling's music, and on the surface this is a lovely release, but I can't help but feel this is just a bit too tried and true. Some of the songs in the first half are excellent, and it's hard to say anything here is less than good, but it's one of those instantly familiar records that, while very well made, are just a bit too comfortable to be memorable. A step down from Semper Femina, which saw her taking more risks in production and songwriting.

All her past sounds have accumulated to this gorgeous and introspective piece of work, featuring her best lyrics to date

Based on those soundoffs one'd assume this is the 3.0est album there is. It's almost that. Laura's lyrical sentiment is touching, but her song-writing often isn't supporting the poignancy of the words.

A rustic, acoustic and intimate singer-songwriter record that explores Laura's many stories and their emotional highs and lows, which at times come off as very bittersweet and other times very overcome and collected, even a little tongue-in-cheek about the scenarios they dive into. Sonically this isn't the most unique or memorable singer-songwriter record I've ever heard, but Laura's vocal tone and lyricism keep it afloat from being a total run-of-the-mill release for the genre with a few outstanding cuts here and there as well, with Held Down and For You being my favorites here for their amazing vocal melodies. What does end up kneecapping this record a little further for me however is the overall lack of just that, as a majority of the songs don't really stick the landing in terms of a memorable hook or chord progression, even after multiple listens.

The British singer comes through with her 7th studio album and it is equal parts the most focused record in her discography, but also her most stylistically baron record out of her discography. I think the first half of the record is a very charming set of folk-rock ballads that really move me emotionally. The second half of the record tries way too hard to be overly sentimental contemporary folk ballads that she loses any sort of charm that she builds up in the first half. The problem with the second half of this record is her vocals are not strong enough to be put over these very minimal acoustic ballads which are disappointing because the lyrics on this record are something to talk about. In general, I still liked more than I disliked, but still that back half needs some work.
