Mary Lattimore – Silver Ladders (Vinyl)
Silver Ladders is the fourth studio album by American harpist Mary Lattimore, released in 2020 by Ghostly International. It was recorded over nine days at Slowdive guitarist Neal Halstead’s studio, stationed on an old airfield.
Silver Ladders finds Lattimore exercising command and restraint. Her signature style is refined, the sprawling layers of harp reigned in and accented by flourishes of low end synth and Halstead’s guitar.
The music can feel ominous with oceanic overtones that shift with the tides. This material is coloured by specific memories for Lattimore;
“Neil has this poster of a surfer in his studio and I’d look at it each day, looking at the sunlight glinting on the dark wave. In these songs I like the contrast between the dark lows and the glittering highs. The gloom and the glimmer, the opposites, a lively surfing town in the winter turned kinda rainy and empty and quiet.”
Tracklist:
A1 Pine Trees
A2 Silver Ladders
A3 Til A Mermaid Drags You Under
A4 Sometimes He's In My Dreams
B1 Chop On The Climbou
B2 Don't Loo
B3 Thirty Tulips
