25 year old Laura Marling is a prominent British folk artist creates music as well as lyrics with sheer ingenuity. A childhood music learner started her career early at the age of 16, when she moved to London. She joined a the-then musical movement publicized by the name 'nu-folk'. Soon Marling joined Noah and the Whale, and became a background vocal. But she left the band on 2008 for personal reasons. Same year Marling released her first album and she never had to look back again. From 2008 till 2015 she released 5 albums and all were more or less successful.
The Poster World presents to you all 5 album covers from Laura Marling discography started from the first album Alas, I Cannot Swim to the last one Short Movie.
1. Alas, I Cannot Swim (2008)
This Mercury Music Prize (2008) nominated debut album by Marling was critically and commercially successful. The view of Marling about the album was it's about being on the age of 18 or 19 and falling in love. Cover of this album is brightly colorful and represents many living beings or objects. Though the album title is absent from the front cover, with this amount of illustration it makes a good cover.
TPW Rating- 4/5
2. I Speak Because I Can (2010)
A fall from the colors of the first album, but she kept her naming fonts as colorful. This album represents a more mature Laura Marling as her point of view about the album is that it deals with responsibility of Womanhood. The cover also resembles the growing up of Marling. Feminist tone of the album title mix perfectly with the expression of Marling on the cover.
TPW Rating- 4/5
3. A Creature I Don't Know (2011)
Third album by Marling also went on to achieve positive reviews and good rank on UK Top Chart. Another experimental cover design from Marling. We see two bodies almost attached to each other but it creates a surreal unearthly feel about it. It gives an impression that we are trying to surpassing each other on this World's nude reality. Font design is also very simple and catchy.
TPW Rating- 4.5/5
4. Once I Was An Eagle (2013)
The most acclaimed album by Marling is also one of the best album of 21st century by a vocal and song writer. Probably the cover also showed the ambition. Because she seems trying to reach for the stars. It's all about Marling on the cover with her half bare back and blond hair. Stunning and brave!
TPW Rating- 4.5/5
5. Short Movie (2015)
Latest album by Marling is a departure of her from folk genre. The cover we see is a sketch by Marling herself. The whole idea of this album was deeply inspired by her living on Los Angels for few days, which reflected on her songs also. Cover is a minimalist one, use of color is good and fonts are also OK.
