Op til albummets udgivelse i efteråret spiller Laura Marling to intime ”live residencies” i både London og New York. De omfatter fire aftener i Londons Hackney Church d. 29., 30., 1. og 2. november og to aftener i New York d. 11. og 12. november i Bowery Ballroom.
”Patterns in Repeat” blev skrevet, indspillet og produceret af Laura i hendes hjemmestudie i London. Og hvis det anmelderroste Song For Our Daughter fra 2020 blev skrevet billedligt og fra perspektivet af at skrive til og om en fiktiv datter, blev Patterns in Repeat skrevet efter fødslen af Marlings datter i 2023 og finder Laura Marling reflekterende over mønstrene, der udspiller sig i konstellationen af en familie. Sangene er forankret i en meget specifik og åbenbarende tid i hendes liv. En tid hvor hun dykkede dybere ned i sin forståelse af de ideer og adfærdsmønstre vi udholder og udfolder gennem familien over generationer.
Albummet blev næsten udelukkende indspillet i Marlings hjemmestudie og co-produceret af Dom Monks, med yderligere assistance fra stryger-eksperten Rob Moose, og afspejler ikke kun den metaforiske intimitet i albummets indhold, men også rent omstændighedsmæssigt, med hendes datter ofte ved siden af Laura under disse optagelsessessioner.
Patterns in Repeat er det ottende studiealbum fra den produktive britiske musiker, men markerer samtidig den længste ventetid mellem nye udgivelser i hendes 15-årige karriere.
Laura Marling om ”Patterns in Repeat”
“Over the course of nine months, I had happily prepared myself for the fact that my life as a songwriter would be put on hold while I adjusted to life as a new parent. How delighted then was I to discover that for the first few months of a baby's life, you can bounce them in a bouncer and play guitar all day. For the first time in my life, I was able to gaze into another human's eyes as I wrote. Of course, new parents feel like they discovered that feeling - one of the very finest that life has to offer, of looking into the eyes of your child and feeling the enormity of the picture as a whole, the enormity of a precarious life, celestial, fragile and extraordinary, taking its place among the comparatively banal constellation of a family. This banal constellation seems to have dominated the writing of Patterns in Repeat - the drama of the domestic sphere, the frail threads that bind a family together, the good intentions we hold onto for our progeny and the many and various ways they get lost in time. So much complexity in the banal, the caged, the everyday.
“Being as I am, 34 years old, now 15 years and 8 albums into a life in song, I am unable to escape the fact that each record has served as a time-stamped chapter of my life (though some have appeared more a premonition). Now, here we are, following a youth spent desperately trying to understand what it is to be a woman, I am at the brow of the hill, with an entirely new and enormous perspective surrounding me.”
I juni lancerede Laura et Substack-nyhedsbrev og introducerede det til fans med en besked, der forklarede dets formål, “recently, I’ve been feeling the urge to talk about songwriting and my relationship to it – in a way to understand better myself – what is this thing that has been the central occupation of my adult life...” – abonnér på Laura Marlings Substack HER
