“Once they name you, they have been known to lock you in,” Laura Marling warns, while also giving a ton of other good advice on “Gurdjieff's Daughter,” the latest single from her new album Short Movie. Here's another gem: “Don't be impressed by strong personalities...But if they fool you, don't lose your sight.” In the interim since her last album, the singer-songwriter has been spending some formative time figuring all this stuff out for herself in her new home in LA, where she took a six month sabbatical from music and now lives.

Her return feels as refreshing as a blast of cool air on a hot LA day, and the time has obviously given her space to think about identity; how to form it, and how to cling onto it in the midst of change. Which is why today, to accompany “Gurdjieff's Daughter,” Marling is sharing a rare video that features her singing her words boldly and playfully to camera. And not only that, but it's all one lovingly ramshackle take, shot by a friend in the homely environment of Laura's Silverlake house, and packed full of her mates (hey, we see you, Marika Hackman!). Watch the video exclusively on Dazed.
