Short Movie by Laura Marling
Short Movie is an album by Laura Marling, released in 2015. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 6 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “False Hope”, on 5 lists with a best position of #10.
Short Movie, Laura Marling's fifth studio album, came out on 23 March 2015 on Virgin, and it's the one where she plugged in. After four records built on acoustic instruments, the English songwriter picked up an electric guitar for the first time, and the change jolts her songs awake: her guitar lines turn wiry and restless, the tension coils tighter, and her voice sounds more unguarded than ever.
"False Hope" and the title track carry that edgier charge. A deluxe edition, Short Movie (Director's Cut), followed on June 17 with new tracks and new artwork, and the album earned Marling a nomination for Best Female Solo Artist at the 2016 Brit Awards. It sits between Once I Was An Eagle and Semper Femina.
