Mary Lattimore

Mary Lattimore is a Los Angeles-based harpist who has played on recordings by dozens of indie rock and experimental musicians, in addition to soundtrack work and her own solo releases. She typically augments her graceful harp improvisations with electronic effects, emphasizing the instrument's ethereal qualities while conjuring up fascinating new sonic vistas. She became an in-demand session musician before releasing solo material in 2012. She later collaborated on albums and soundtracks with artists like Jeff Zeigler and Maxwell August Croy, and released music on well-regarded labels like Thrill Jockey and Ghostly International. By 2018, her solo material had begun to incorporate guitar, keyboard, Theremin, and other instruments, with albums like 2020's Silver Ladders augmenting her ambient harp with a wide range of accompanying sounds. Collaboration remained at the heart of Lattimore's work, showing up in the form of joint creations with Growing and Superchunk's Mac McCaughan, as well as contributions from members of Slowdive, the Cure, and others on her 2023 album Goodbye, Hotel Arkada.
