BBC Radio 6 Music - Lauren Laverne, With Mary Epworth

Lauren has a session from British musician Mary Epworth.

Lauren has a session from British musician Mary Epworth, whose new album Elytral, centres around the metaphor of the resilience, light and colour in a beetle's armour.

Lauren is joined in the 6 Music Live Room by British musician Mary Epworth. Her new album is called Elytral, a word that describes the smooth armour worn by beetles, giving them the external steeliness that belies the filminess below.

It is the central metaphor in her album, which is "about resilience and stamina, but also having this light and colour unfolding from inside." Epworth recorded the album over the course of a fortnight, playing most of the instruments herself.

Lauren also has this week's Memory Tapes, a celebration of a listener's beloved mixtape. There's more new music for our Just Added playlist, a Headphones Moment and as much great music as we can pack in.
