In the wake of her celebrated 2020 album, Silver Ladders, Mary Lattimore, the talented Los Angeles-based harpist and composer, presents a captivating collection titled Collected Pieces: 2015-2020. This limited-edition vinyl offers a unique blend of new and previously unreleased tracks, including Bandcamp-exclusive singles and highlights from her 2017 tape, Collected Pieces.
More than just a vinyl compendium, the expanded tracklist available on cassette and digital formats brings together Lattimore’s musical journey, creating an immersive experience for both the artist and her fans. Mary describes this process as reminiscent of “opening a box filled with memories,” inviting listeners to connect with the emotions and stories behind her music.
The album opens with the delicate chords of Wawa By The Ocean, a tribute to her cherished convenience store in New Jersey. As she reflects on her many trips there, the warmth and nostalgia of the location come alive in each note. Another standout, We Wave From Our Boats, captures the essence of community amidst uncertainty, created during the early days of the pandemic.
Listeners will also appreciate the hauntingly beautiful What The Living Do, inspired by Marie Howe’s poetry, which contemplates life’s ordinary moments. Lattimore’s talent shines through in pieces like Sleeping Deer, a tender composition born from her experiences on a Wyoming ranch, and the whimsical Mary, You Were Wrong, which speaks to resilience in the face of heartache.
Each track showcases Lattimore’s artistry as an emotional storyteller, adept at weaving intricate soundscapes that reflect her observations of the world. This limited edition vinyl is not only a celebration of her work but also a must-have for collectors of harp music vinyl, ensuring that every note resonates with beauty and depth.
