Kathryn Williams, the folk singer-songwriter long celebrated for her quiet emotional depth and lyrical precision, releases her new studio album Mystery Park. A deeply personal, intimate collection, Mystery Park marks 27 years of making music. It’s a reflective, textured work shaped by time’s shifting tides. Known for her delicate, moving voice and poetic songwriting, Williams rose to prominence in 2000 with ‘Little Black Numbers’, the self-released album that earned her a Mercury Prize nomination and became a touchstone for a new generation of British folk. With Mystery Park, Williams returns to the sparse and affecting sonic palette that marked her early releases ‘Old Low Light’ and ‘Relations’. These are songs made in the quiet margins of motherhood and memory, written over time, and recorded in close creative communion with trusted collaborators. “This is the most personal record I’ve made,” says Williams. “The artwork is my own painting, based on the willow pattern from my grandmother’s tea sets. Each part of it ties into the songs - a map of memories.”
