Laura Marling, “Untitled” Live from Lincoln Hall, Chicago 9/22/2011
B and I have liked idolized Laura Marling for years, we love everything about her: her music, her dating history, her looks. (Seriously, hours have been spent deciding whether or not I should dye my hair Laura Marling-blonde or Laura Marling-brown.)
We saw her live for the first time last night and our love took a turn for the serious. She’s our generation’s Joni Mitchell- a perfected, whimsical story teller who dances between octaves with the ease in which most people speak. She’s funny, sweet and unrefined and humbled by every audience-echo of her lyrics or drunkenly shouted song request. She was, I think, one of the most talented people I’ve ever shared a room with.
The video above is poor quality and doesn’t even really catch the entire song, but it’s a brand-new, unrecorded piece she played sans-band and it’s really awesome. I’ve listened to her records for years, but seeing her live brought her to an unparalleled new level of talent. Go see her. And get her new album. Get all her albums. And seriously brown or blonde?
