‘There’s something profound at the heart of this’ Adam Walton, BBC Radio Wales

The debut EP a small fire by Oxen Mare, available on all major streaming platforms.

Released in November 2024, a small fire features lush vocals, deep and poetic lyrics and rich instrumentation by long-term musical collaborators Alex Hill and Coral Kindred-Boothby. 

My first release in over ten years of writing and recording, the EP is cut from a larger album in the making, created in response to the experience of reassessing a troubling past relationship, and speaks to the emotional manoeuvres and mental gymnastics performed when navigating relationships as a young woman, as well as the transformations that occur when we interrogate internalised narratives about what we should accept for ourselves. 

Recorded in home-studios in Somerset and Pembrokeshire, the EP is available to download and stream on all major platforms. 

I’m also learning  to play the harp and am currently working on a concept album inspired by various women in Welsh folklore and mythology.
