This weekend I wanted to offer you an album of gentle but powerful bliss.
Los Angeles-based harpist Mary Lattimore’s Silver Ladders. Released in 2020 by Ghostly International — a label that consistently puts out beautiful tunes — this album self-identifies as “ambient, alternative, experimental, harp, indie, soundscape.”
In the liner notes, Lattimore reveals that the album emerged from personal memories of “the Cornish landscape, the hotel from the movie The Witches, the cream tea, winning the pub quiz, the Sunday Roast, the ghosts of all of the surfers who had died in the wild waves, the night walks to the top of the hill to see the moon shining on the water…”
If you’re interested in what critics have to say about this album, you can see those responses HERE.
Also of interest, there’s this official Visual Score of the album directed by Rachael Pony Cassells. In the description of this video, Cassells explains:
In creating the visual score, I wanted to allow Mary’s music its rightful place to lead and to support, but not overwhelm with visual narrative. The images and edit were created very intuitively. Mary and I were an isolation pod, and this was I think for both of us our first times leaving LA and the confines of our homes for many months. This score will always be a document of this very isolated and strange moment in time. Mary and I journeyed up and down the California coastline finding echoes of Cornwall in the landscape and symbols of grief and mourning we had discussed already present and washing up on the Maverick's beach shoreline.
