I didn't realise this (single) existed


British folk musician Laura Marling is only 21, but she's been getting critical acclaim across the waters for the past three years. She's already put out two albums -- Alas, I Cannot Swim and I Speak Because I Can -- both of which were nominated for the Mercury Music Prize.

Marling's style of folk is subtle, coming off in a more offhanded way that falls lightly on the years. But don't get us wrong -- her voice can pull you in like the best of 'em.

For her third album, A Creature I Don't Know -- which will be released Sept. 12 -- Marling plans to take her tour to cathedrals across the UK in October. Her first single off A Creature I Don't Know, "Sophia," even gets the cathedral treatment in her video.
