Laura Marling wrote "Short Movie" by herself, and it gave its name to her fifth album, released in March 2015. She produced it, with Dan Cox and Matt Ingram co-producing, recording and mixing. The record had a rocky start. After Once I Was an Eagle she found the songs she'd been writing for the follow-up flat, dismissing them as a dull afterthought, so when the touring was over she stepped back from music for six months and went exploring the spiritualist, mystical side of Los Angeles. That detour ended up supplying much of what the album is about.
It's also where she plugged in: Short Movie was her first record with Marling on electric guitar instead of the acoustic sound of the four before it, and it got her nominated for Best Female Solo Artist at the 2016 Brit Awards.
