Mara Simpson - In This Place

A heady blend of alt-folk, analogue synth and classical composition, the album is a tale of quiet rebellion, and taking back control. Album opener 'Serena', named after the apartment building in Brighton where Mara's daughter was born, is based on the experience of becoming a mother and the responsibility of making important healthcare decisions. 'How will I know how to love you' she sings over undulating synths and sparse piano chords. Title-track 'In This Place' is about the confrontation between mother and new-born child.
