Over the last couple of years, West London’s folk scene has been churning out a number of much buzzed about bands, with Mumford & Sons leading the charge. The other rising star of the burgeoning movement is the 21-year-old Laura Marling, who earlier this year won the 2011 Brit Award for Best Female Solo Artist. On September 13, the singer-songwriter will release her third studio album, A Creature I Don’t Know, and has recently announced a short nine-date U.S. tour that includes a two-night stand in Los Angeles, as well as a high profile stop at New York’s Webster Hall.
