Los Angeles-based harpist Mary Lattimore has announced a new album, led by the gossamer single "And Then He Wrapped His Wings Around Me," featuring Meg Baird and Walt McClements.
Say hello to Goodbye, Hotel Arkada on October 6 via Ghostly International. It follows 2020's Silver Ladders, as well as the 2021 compilation, Collected Pieces: 2015-2020.
Also featuring guest appearances from the Cure's Lol Tolhurst, Slowdive's Rachel Goswell, Roy Montgomery and Samara Lubelski, the collection draws its name from a hotel on the Croatian island of Hvar.
"There's a big old hotel there called the Hotel Arkada, and you could tell it had been hosting holiday-goers for decades in a great way," Lattimore explained in in a statement. "I walked around the lobby and the empty ballrooms and it looked like a well-worn, well-loved place. My friend Stacey who lives there told me to 'Say goodbye to Hotel Arkada, it might not be here when you get back,' and I heard soon after that it was actually going to be renovated in a very crisp, modern way."
She continued, "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 artist will bring her new music — including the gleaming "And Then He Wrapped His Wings Around Me" — on tour this fall, with a lone Canadian performance at Toronto's Longboat Hall on October 31 (spooky!)
