UK singer-songwriter Laura Marling will return with a new studio album, Once I Was An Eagle, on May 28th via Ribbon Music. It’s her third album in four years, following 2010’s Top Star-earning I Speak Because I Can and 2011’s A Creature I Dont Know.
The 16-track effort was recorded at the UK’s Three Crows studio, produced by Ethan Johns (Kings of Leon, Ryan Adams), and features her lifelong pal Ruth de Turberville on cello. Marling recorded vocals and acoustic guitars live in one take (!) and the entire studio process lasted just 10 days.
A press release says the album “echoes the dark themes” of A Creature I Don’t Know. Catch a preview with a listen of “Where Can I Go?” below.
