A frequently beautiful ode to domestic life, Laura Marling finds joy in the little things on Patterns In Repeat. Those patterns are the daily tasks concerning parenthood and taking care of a child, something she and her partner recently experienced for the first time. Marling’s voice, as usual, sounds like it could break at any moment, but she keeps composed for her little one, and songs like “Patterns” and “Nobody’s Gonna Love You Like I Can” are amongst the most beautiful you’ll hear all year.
