LAURA MARLING NEW ALBUM: PATTERNS IN REPEAT VIA CHRYSALIS/PARTISAN RECORDS

PATTERNS IN REPEAT is the eighth studio album by the ever-prolific British musician, heralding the longest wait between new output in her 15 year career. PATTERNS IN REPEAT was written, recorded and produced by Laura at her home studio in London. If 2020’s acclaimed SONG FOR OUR DAUGHTER was written figuratively, and from the perspective of writing to and about a fictional daughter, PATTERNS IN REPEAT was written after the birth of her daughter in 2023, and finds Laura reflecting on the patterns at play in the constellation of a family. The songs are grounded in a very specific and revelatory time in her life, diving deeper into her reckoning with the ideas and behaviours we endure through family over generations.

The record was recorded almost entirely at Marling’s home studio and co-produced by Dom Monks, with additional assistance from strings supremo Rob Moose, and reflects not only the metaphorical intimacy of the record’s content, but purely from a circumstantial one too, with her daughter often beside Laura for these recording sessions.
