EDITORIAL REVIEWS Laura Marlings new album, ONCE I WAS AN EAGLE, the follow up to 2011s stand out a CREATURE I DONT KNOW, is a hugely ambitious album reflecting the poise and confidence of a songwriter far beyond her years (23) . Recorded in the English countryside with longtime collaborator and producer Ethan Johns, the albums loose narrative traverses heartbreak, vulnerability, resurgence, confidence, and lastly contemplation. ONCE I WAS AN EAGLE steps farther outside the conventions of Lauras previous albums, an opportunity to fully explore her songwriting process while abandoning expectations.
