Mara Simpson
Alt-folk artist Mara Simpson announces new album In This Place due 24th Sep via Downfield Records and shares video for title-track.
Commenting on this theme’s in the latest track Simpson explains: “When I left home to travel around the world and was so worried about breaking my Mum’s heart, I just remember her saying that your children are never yours to keep. This is a song about the rawest of loves, and the fact that however much we love someone, they are never ours, and the beauty in that.”
With In This Place set to be Downfield Records first release, Simpson set the label up herself as a non-profit imprint placing artists at its centre to ensure musicians can be paid fairly and release records under their own terms keeping hold of the creative process, which Simpson explains: “I want to try and promote transparency and equality, assist other artists to get public funding and to ‘pay’ forward the time and resources I’ve benefited from,”
