  • Laura Marling: Dubiously Religious, Certainly Without Pretension by Sentimentalist Staff on July 8, 2008
    Interviews Laura Marling: Dubiously Religious, Certainly Without Pretension By Sentimentalist Staff on July 8, 2008 Donned in skinny jeans, mary janes and an oversized white t-shirt, Laura Marling fits any niche in downtown Manhattan; with her doe eyes and pastel skin, she’s seemingly innocent. Her blonde hair is beginning to show the darker roots that have grown in and her charming British accent is pleasantly soothing. She asks if it’s okay to have a cigarette as we sit out on a bench in a park in lower Manhattan. It’s breezy and satisfyingly warm in the shade, and as I begin to ask questions she coos at squirrels as they run over the cobblestones beneath the green wooden bench on which we sit. Despite her extraordinarily wise lyrics and hauntingly mature voice, there’s still an innocence that echoes through her – she’s untainted by the effects of urban stereotyping or climbing a social ladder. Instead she’s timid and coy, completely in her element as she sits in a haven of nature amidst a metropolis. “I grew up in the countryside in England, so I’m not really used to this fast-paced kind of environment,” she says as her eyes widen at the quickly passing cars. Her debut album, Alas, I Cannot Swim, is unveiled this summer that is both intimate and delicate, two elements that easily describe her as well. What was the incentive behind Alas I Cannot Swim? I have a fascination with death and religion. Not in such a morbid way, but how it affects you and the psychological effects of religion and how your relationship with the world effects your relationship with yourself.
