Folk singer Laura Marling has been inviting pairs of strangers into caravans, tents and steamboats to conduct a strange and unexplained experiment.
The blonde musician selected random revellers at Glastonbury, Camp Bestival and Wilderness Festival to serenade in some very intimate settings, according to music site ForFolksSake.com,
She has a history of experimental music, having performed with Mumford & Sons and a collection of local artists in India for the Dharohar Project.
However, her latest actions are as yet unexplained, with Glastonbury festivalgoer Steve Murphy telling the website that there was no reason given for the experience he had.
“We went into a caravan two at a time and she came in, played us a song (which I assume will be on the new album) and left without saying a word,” he said.
Laura invited fans at Wilderness Festival to take a steamboat ride to a secret jetty, where she sat them two at a time in a luxurious tent and played them just one song.
It is thought that the Brit Award-winning songwriter is documenting people’s reactions to awkward situations, although the reason for this is still unclear.
Laura’s third full-length album, A Creature I Don’t Know, is due to be released on September 12th and will feature the new single Sophia (below).
