6 years ago, in the first week of lockdown, Mai was born into the world on
@bubblewrap.collective ! š Such fond memories of recording this in Laura Place in Aberystwyth, with
@iwanmorgan_ @iwan.huws @daf_hughes @angharaddavie @ailsamairsong and Steve Black
The album was written in the throes of my first year as a mother. A mad, beautiful time. Gardens growing under kitchen doors, sounds at night, wildness, searching for myself again, moving back from the city to my hometown, and then - and always - the sea. I love this record, and everything contained in it. I never intended it to be released during such a scary time, but in those early lockdown days, spent in gardens, looking through windows at the world outside, it seemed to find its place. Very fond memories, too, of this impromptu photo shoot in our garden with the legend
@catrin__davies - whose artwork still fills me with so much joy šŗ And shoutout to
@rhodribrooks - both for his lush Cardiff promo pics but also the gorgeous pedal steel. It was our first time working together, but not the last!
Penblwydd hapus, Mai š
