Softly In The Sunshine

On Wednesday, the lovely and prolific Laura Marling stopped by the KEXP studios for an in studio performance. I'd heard a few of her songs in the past and kept her on my list of artists to listen to more in depth (if her song the Beast does not entrance you I don't know what will.) Needless to say her set was amazing. I immediately put her fourth album, A Creature I Don't Know, onto my iPod and went about my day softly in the sunshine. I decided to make a folk inspired playlist this week featuring a few of my favorite songs of all time. Prepare yourself for lots of bright guitars and poetry sung by soulfully worn voices- I hope you like it. Also, take note that Laura Marling's most recent album Once I Was An Eagle comes out May 28!
