Laura Marling returns on 28th January 2008 with her first single, 'Ghosts'.
Continuing with the creative maturity in song writing that Laura is establishing in her music, which sets her apart from other new starlet's, 'Ghosts' is another enchanting tale of young lovers, this time haunted by the memory of lost love.
Following this, Laura's debut album, 'Alas I Cannot Swim', will be released on 4th February '08 and will initially be available in a limited edition 'Song Box'.
The 'Song Box' has been inspired and created by Laura using her ideas and the imagery of her lyrics. It will contain: an invitation to redeem a concert ticket to one of five UK concerts; a CD copy of the album and mementos relating to each song on the album. The Song Box can be pre-ordered here
If you still haven't witnessed Laura playing live, I suggest you attend one of these gigs and be prepared to be blown away
