What our team say
“As a harp player myself, Mary Lattimore is a real icon for me. She skews and twists the acoustic beauty of the harp with electronic reverbs, delays and echoes. Her shows are dreamy, intimate and transportive – really one to lose yourself in. Can’t wait!”

About the album
Through emotionally resonant music, Goodbye, Hotel Arkada speaks not just for its beloved namesake — a hotel in Croatia facing renovation — but for a universal loss that is shared.
‘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.’- Mary Lattimore

‘[Mary Lattimore has] the uncanny ability to pluck a string in a way that will instantly make someone remember the taste of their fifth birthday cake’
