Release Notes:

With a voice straight out of the 60s folk revival Mary Hampton
- even by name - would have fitted in with a whole host of
classic fantasy folk singers.

The refrain ‘you are loved because you are young’ in the
opening track sets out the scene for the rest of the album and
there’s a feel the show Hampton puts on is for an innocent
who’s concept of reality hasn’t yet been tempered and tamped
down by adult cynicism. The tales she sings have all the
horror of an original Grimm tale - all ‘glass-eyed dolls’,
eels that scream before they are skinned, thumbs tearing on
the sharpest thorns and stuffed dogs - and her bizarre flights
of fancy are the dreams of children, far more unsettling for
an adult.

If you’re thinking this all sounds a little fragmented and out
there, for the most part it is but it’s a sound well grounded
in some classic folk singers gone by. There’s something of
Nick Drake in the title track on My mother’s children and the
Brighton based singer’s otherworldly vocals, sit somewhere in
between Joni Mitchell and Sandy Deny.

It’s avant garde, trancy and beguiling fantasy folk with an
unsettling twist evoking Eliot’s Wasteland in it’s beautiful
bleakness.
