Having moved back to her native Aberystwyth ‘Mai’ was recorded in the town’s Grade-II listed Joseph Parry Hall over the course of one week in Spring 2019. Named after the renowned composer and professor, the room was used as a venue for chamber concerts throughout the twentieth century and offered musicians a view of the sun setting over the castle as they worked.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBut despite this setting Mai (meaning May) is an intimate collection of songs written from within the depths of a house during stolen moments. At its heart sits a beautiful and simple setting of Eifion Wyn’s poem – ‘Gwn ei ddyfod, fis y Mel’ (I know it’s coming, month-of-honey).\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMai is a meditation on finding hope and renewal in the seasons, in a world where the certainty of Spring feels increasingly fragile.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe album was produced with Iwan Morgan (Meilyr Jones, Cate Le Bon, Richard James) who also engineered mixed and mastered. Additional parts were recorded at his studio in Liverpool. With improvised strings, pedal steel and saxophone sitting alongside harp, the album presents a sound which is both lush and sparse in turn.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracklist: \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1) Gardd 2) Madryn 3) 7 Rooms 4) Terracotta 5) Mai 6) Close For Comfort 7) In Bloom 8) Cosmos 9) Brychni 10) Cynnes 11) Haul\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e","brand":"Bubblewrap","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37201728536732,"sku":"BWR051LP","price":20.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/BWR051.jpg?v=1607938077","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/georgia-ruth-mai-lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
