Confused by the squabbling in here but I like the new song; mildly surprised that the album title isn't six syllables long; hoping that she pulls things in slightly different directions to her past stuff on this one, even if I do love all of what she's done before very much.

― franch montana (slothroprhymes), Thursday, 18 December 2014 01:00 (nine years ago) link
*to the clog-up
Yeah, the single seems to indicate something in between her last two albums, something a little more breezier? Thematically it looks much of the same: Marling speaking directly to someone about relationship.

I can imagine her welcoming a new direction after Eagle but this is still a bit strange to me.

I thought the album was a masterpiece at first. But less sure now. Largely because her American accent is just so obtrusive across the whole record … Now I'm aware of it I find it hard to hear anything else.
― Unsettled defender (ithappens), Thursday, 19 March 2015 12:41 (nine years ago) link
Hasn't she had that for a while now? It's an affectation but I don't mind it.

I think this is her best and most consistent album so far. Despite the tagline about this being her electric album, my favorites on this are the acoustic tracks, for the most part.
― o. nate, Wednesday, 5 August 2015 02:08 (nine years ago) link
Is the rest of this album as good as Gurdjieff's Daughter? I've never really been that taken with LM but that song is incredible.

I like the fact that it is as much of a change in direction as it is, but I agree it's more solidly good than amazing.
― _Rudipherous_, Monday, 28 November 2016 18:10 (seven years ago) link
Also, I didn't expect her to have a new album in the works so soon.
It seemed like she was looking for a different approach on the last album, but I was expecting that to mean rocking harder. So this is an interesting curveball.
― _Rudipherous_, Monday, 28 November 2016 18:21 (seven years ago) link
New single's groove reminds me of an understated Fiona Apple. Gorgeous track.

Really enjoying the new one and how concise it is. "Nothing, Not Nearly" reminds me of Nina Persson's solo work, which is never a bad thing.
― Carlotta's Portrait (Ross), Wednesday, 15 March 2017 01:35 (seven years ago) link
The album is beautiful, in particular "Next Time" and its strings which seem to endlessly unfold

"the valley" also devastating in its stillness
― monotony, Wednesday, 15 March 2017 03:22 (seven years ago) link
Good points :) can totally see why Blake Mills (producer) is also working with Fiona Apple, similar little theatrical touches here and there.

Semper Femina has knocked me out, what a gorgeous albumI generally liked her before, I never heard the last one, but this is really hitting me great production, between this and the new Mark Eitzel it's nice to hear some records that are produced so well
― blonde redheads have more fun (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 16 March 2017 13:50 (seven years ago) link
I really dislike the way her voice lurches up when she sings "you can't come in, you don't live here anymore". It disproportionately bothers me given it's one of the first things you hear on an otherwise excellent album.
Kinda feel like she was in danger of becoming one of those artists who becomes less engaging as they mature artistically and the move towards Laurel Canyon-esque folk rock on the last few records hasn't really done it for me but this is great. Sounds amazing on good headphones as well.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 16 March 2017 13:53 (seven years ago) link
yeah this is great, I need to hear her last couple albums. I kinda tuned out a while ago for no good reason
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 16 March 2017 14:01 (seven years ago) link
where to start with her? heard a more trance-like minimal acoustic-leaning kind of one on the radio which i liked then listened to one of her albums and it was more rock-y than i thought it'd be
― global tetrahedron, Thursday, 16 March 2017 14:13 (seven years ago) link
Once I Was An Eagle = trance-like and acoustic
Short Movie = more rock oriented
Both are very good though
― Moodles, Thursday, 16 March 2017 14:23 (seven years ago) link
new one is pretty but i don't like the tapping/drum machine lots
― j., Tuesday, 2 May 2017 01:59 (seven years ago) link
she also sing-talks in a british movie lady accent on this one, so i guess she's been shaking the seeping americanism people were noting ca. 'eagle'?

Has anyone listened to LUMP? I didn't even realize this came out until right now. Seems good so far.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 5 July 2018 04:22 (six years ago) link
I'm amazed this new one seems to be flying under the radar. Listening to it, I keep thinking it reminds me a lot of Hannah Peel, and turns out Peel plays trombone on it, so go figure. It's nice to hear Marling trying out a new direction.
