Mary Epworth
Pastoral folk melodies colliding with restless electronic pulses. A shimmering, slightly eerie soundscape for wandering through woods or staring at the stars.

Mary Epworth creates music that feels like a bridge between the ancient English countryside and a neon-lit future. Her sound is deeply rooted in the traditions of psychedelic folk, yet it constantly pushes against those boundaries with sharp electronic interjections and experimental arrangements. It is music that feels both grounded in the earth and suspended in the air, balancing organic warmth with a cool, synthetic edge.
What truly sets her apart is the sense of narrative mystery she weaves into her production. Whether she is using motorik rhythms to drive a song forward or layering her vocals into a shimmering wall of sound, there is always a feeling of something lurking just beneath the surface. Her work on psychological horror soundtracks has clearly bled into her solo material, giving even her most melodic pop moments a subtle, compelling tension.
Start with her debut album 'Dream Life' for a more pastoral, folk-leaning experience that showcases her songwriting craft. If you are feeling more adventurous, dive into 'Elytral', where she fully embraces electronic experimentalism and free-jazz influences to create something truly singular and unpredictable.
Mary Epworth is an English singer, songwriter, and composer. In 2012, Epworth unveiled her debut album, Dream Life, receiving significant radio backing. Singles such as "Black Doe" and "Long Gone" were featured on BBC Radio 6 Music playlists, with "Black Doe" selected as Zane Lowe's Hottest Record in the World on BBC Radio 1.
