The fourth episode of Official Charts' new live stream series The Record Club is streaming now on Facebook, featuring special guest Laura Marling.

Laura joined host Jess Iszatt to talk about her new album Song For Our Daughter, which was released digitally in April and gets a physical release on July 10.

Asked about the process behind making the record, she explained: "This is the first time that I've ever re-edited - and I re-edited quite extensively - and cut out a lot of verses off things.

"I tried to make them as clear as my slightly distanced personality would let me. Song For Our Daughter [originally] had 12 verses, whereas the point comes across in three." Watch the full episode below.
