Mary Lattimore – Goodbye, Hotel Arkada (Vinyl)

Through evocative, emotionally resonant music, Goodbye, Hotel Arkada, the new LP from American harpist and composer Mary Lattimore, speaks not just for its beloved namesake a hotel in Croatia facing renovation but for a universal loss that is shared.

Six sprawling pieces shaped by change; nothing will ever be the same, and here, the artist, evolving in synthesis, celebrates and mourns the tragedy and beauty of the ephemeral, all that is lived and lost to time.

The cast includes Lol Tolhurst (The Cure), Meg Baird, Rachel Goswell (Slowdive), Roy Montgomery, Samara Lubelski, and Walt McClements.

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 youre away, not realizing how ephemeral experiences are until they dont happen anymore, fear for a planet were losing because of greed, an ode to art and music thats really shaped your life that can transport you back in time, longing to maintain sensitivity and to not sink into hollow despondency.

Transparent blue + black marble vinyl in matte sleeve with silver pantone.
