My Mother's Children

 

CD

 

"Hello there. I am Mary Hampton and I live in Brighton in a room overlooking the sea. I find old songs and keep them in coloured vials in my fridge. Sometimes I make up new songs. And sometimes I do neither one thing nor the other."

 

"Mary Hampton's voice is impossibly high. Concerning frozen sparrows, taxidermied dogs and pygmalions, the subject matter of her songs similarly comes from a place just beyond your reach."
