Me too. Really looking forward to her new album in March. She has her own thread here: http://www.musicbanter.com/country-f...a-marling.html

Aw, wish her thread weren't dead. It should be resurrected. She has such a lovely smoky voice (wonderful lyricist, too.)

Yeah, she's a brilliant and brutally honest songwriter. An imminent new album is reason to resurrect her thread.

I have that The Long Surrender album and it's an odd one. Some tracks are brilliant whilst others are almost cabaret-ish - a style I really don't like.

I really like the track Rave On:

Yeah, that one's really nice, very ominous. The repetitiveness makes it feel sort of dreamlike. Her voice is so sultry.

Anyone know of a folksy band with a deeper-voiced male vocalist? Similar to guy from The National's voice? I seem to only ever come across Mumford & Sons-type groups (as in, the same sort of vocals and tone which I'm a bit bored of). I already know of and adore King Dude.

Hi, Chiomara! Welcome to MB! It's always good when someone takes an interest in this thread, and to judge from your selections, Mr. Charlie at last has a soulmate. The Long Surrender tracks sound pretty interesting.

On YouTube I've just come across Nass Marrakech. They have an innovative approach to traditional Moroccan gnawa music, apparently; whatever they do, the result is a dreamy, jazzy, mid-tempo style that I really like:-
