Mary Lattimore – “And Then He Wrapped His Wings Around Me” (Feat. Meg Baird & Walt McClements)
It’s been a few years since Mary Lattimore’s last proper full-length, 2020’s Silver Ladders, though the harpist has kept busy since then. Today, she’s announcing a new album, Goodbye, Hotel Arkada, named after a Croatian lodging renovated out of its old-world charm. It features contributions from the Cure’s Lol Tolhurst, Slowdive’s Rachel Goswell, and more. Lattimore had this to say about it:
When I think of these songs, I think about fading flowers in vases, melted candles, getting older, being on tour and having things change while you’re away, not realizing how ephemeral experiences are until they don’t happen anymore, fear for a planet we’re losing because of greed, an ode to art and music that’s really shaped your life that can transport you back in time, longing to maintain sensitivity and to not sink into hollow despondency.
The album’s lead single is the lovely “And Then He Wrapped His Wings Around Me,” which features Meg Baird and Walt McClements. Listen below.
