Kathryn Williams, the acclaimed folk singer-songwriter known for her lyrical precision and emotional restraint, presents Mystery Park — a reflective, intimate album that marks 27 years of music-making. Returning to the sparse, delicate sound that defined early records like Old Low Light and Relations, Williams crafts songs shaped by memory, motherhood, and time’s quiet passing. Written gradually and recorded with close collaborators, this is a deeply personal work both sonically and visually. “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.” Williams first rose to prominence with 2000’s Little Black Numbers, earning a Mercury Prize nomination and inspiring a new generation of British folk artists. As Clash put it: “Kathryn Williams has never made a bad record.” Mystery Park only strengthens that legacy.
