Ghostly International

2xLP

Both a sequel to 2017’s Collected Pieces and a companion piece to 2020’s Silver Ladders, this compilation collects unreleased works from the Californian harpist across a five year period that ends with pieces she composed in the early days of COVID lockdowns. Lattimore uses the harp as an ambient instrument to create a mood of melancholic calm throughout the two LP’s.  Lattimore’s use of melody leans more towards creating a meditative quality than catchiness for its own sake with this album meeting at the halfway point between Alice Coltrane at her most subdued and Brian Eno at his most buoyant.
