Panic enters Laura Marling’s voice on album five, where the stakes of her eternal themes—the tussle between independence and loneliness—heighten acutely. With a brutally honest shrug, she ditches a lover on “Warrior” and unleashes an acid torrent at a cheating man on the thrilling “Strange,” but then asks, "Is it still okay that I don’t know how to be alone?” on “False Hope”. Written on electric rather than acoustic, Short Movie is heavier in every sense.
