INCOMING | Laura Marlin — I Speak Because I Can

[EMI; March 22]

The final piece of the puzzle dropped into place today for Laura Marling’s forthcoming album I Speak Because I Can with the unveiling of the rather mysterious artwork you see below. The first of an intended two full-lengths for 2010, and one that’s already been drawing huge acclaim from those who’ve heard it, the album is one of the most eagerly anticipated releases of the Spring.

Details have also emerged about the bonus content you’ll be able to find on the bonus DVD that comes with the special edition version: a 45-minute documentary, live performances from the Laura Marling & Friends show at the Royal Festival Hall last year [review], and the video for upcoming single ‘Devil’s Spoke’ (out March 15). What’s more, the DVD will allow access to an area of Laura’s website where tracks from many of the artists who appeared at the sell-out gig will be free to download.
