Mary Lattimore unveils "Pine Trees" as second single from upcoming LP

After releasing lead track ""Sometimes He's In My Dreams" last month, Lattimore has returned with "Pine Trees" as a second glimpse of her Silver Ladders LP.

Lattimore says of the new song, ""Pine Trees" is named after a quiet cluster of trees by the sea on the island of Hvar in Croatia. This song was created in Los Angeles at home, but crystallised in the studio with Neil’s help, where he took away layers of the demo that felt unnecessary, bringing out other layers to the front that had been hidden. This song feels like a testament to his producing in that, through more objective listening, a subtler light could shine through that I hadn’t seen in it before."

Silver Ladders, Lattimore's first album since teaming up with Mac McCaughan on his AVL album in May, was recorded across nine days in Cornwall with Slowdive’s Neil Halstead.

On working with Halstead on her new album, Lattimore explains, "A friend introduced us because she knew how big of a fan I was and Neil and I had a little chat... The next day, I just thought maybe he'd be into producing my next record. I flew on a little plane to Newquay in Cornwall where he lives with his lovely partner Ingrid and their baby. I didn't know what his studio was like, he'd never recorded a harp, but somehow it really worked."
