 Notes  
     British singer/songwriter Kathryn Williams began her career in 1999 with
     the release of "Dog Leap Stairs", a beguiling set of low-key folk songs
     that drew comparisons to the hushed musings of Nick Drake. A native of
     Liverpool, Williams relocated to Newcastle to pursue a fine art degree,
     emerging somewhat unexpectedly with a promising musical career when her
     second album, 2000's "Little Black Numbers", was nominated for Britain's
     prestigious Mercury Prize.
     More expansive than her debut, yet still winsomely intimate, the album was
     initially released on her own Caw Records label, though it was soon
     delivered to a much larger audience via a licensing agreement with Warner's
     EastWest imprint. With her newly raised profile, Williams began writing her
     third album and making collaborative appearances with folk legends like
     Bert Jansch and John Martyn.
     Williams returns with her 11th studio album, the sonically adventurous and
     thematically ambitious "Hypoxia". The album, which was co-produced by Ed
     Harcourt, is based on Sylvia Plath's 1963 novel The Bell Jar. Approached in
     2013 to write some songs based on Plath for the Durham Book Festival's
     celebration of the author's work (and the 50th anniversary of The Bell
     Jar's publication), Williams reconnected with the novel and its haunted,
     semi-autobiographical protagonist.
     She initially completed five songs, which she performed at a reading by
     author Andrew Wilson from his book Mad Girl's Love Song: Sylvia Plath and
     Life Before Ted. While she hadn't intended to base an entire album on
     Plath, the subject continued to inspire her and before long she had added
     three more songs, with a fourth one, the album's lead single "Cuckoo"
     co-written by Harcourt. Dark-toned and heavily atmospheric, the production
     of "Hypoxia" recalls some of the textures from her 2012 release "The Pond".
