Laura Marling has returned with a new video for her song, “Fortune.”

Lifted from her latest record, Song For Our Daughter, the video gives us the exciting visual that Marling has been known to create.

Dressed in a purple pantsuit, the singer-songwriter takes a seat surrounded by wildflowers and other foliage and starts to play her acoustic guitar. Directed by Justin Tyler Close, it is a continuous steady shot for the entirety of the clip. But it’s the tiny details like the mug next to her chair that brings a warm and homey feel.

Marling’s new album was just nominated for a Mercury Prize earlier today (July 23). And while she’s known for her strong songwriting talents and melodious music, she did tell SPIN that Song For Our Daughter has more hopeful than her past work.

“I feel in comparison with other records that I’ve made this record has a kind of hopefulness to it, an upbeatness to it,” she told SPIN. “I’m obviously devastated not to be touring, and I’m so incredibly grateful that I had two weeks in Australia to get a little taste of it. I’ve released seven albums so far, so I’m slightly fortunate in that I’ve done it a few times and I don’t feel like a big song and dance needs to be made of it really.”

      Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?

      NelsonG posted a topic in General News,

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
