Mary Lattimore has been lending her harp to a number of avant rock recordings for over a decade, as well as releasing her own haunting improvisational work for labels including Thrill Jockey and Ghostly International. Our conversation was recorded just days before Mary left Philadelphia (where she lived for a decade) to relocate in Los Angeles. We talk about her relationship with the harp, the music scene that came together in Philly in the 2000s, making music with Thurston Moore, Jarvis Cocker, The Arcade Fire, The Valerie Project, and Kurt Vile, composing music for soundtracks, playing the classical world vs. the rock world, The American Harp Convention, NKOTB, gentrification, her move to L.A. and more.
