Hypoxia is Kathryn Williams 12th album and was released by One Little Indian on 15 June 2015. The songs were initially conceived as a result of a 2013 writing commission from New Writing North in conjunction with the Durham Book Festival's 50th anniversary celebration of the publication of Sylvia Plath's 'The Bell Jar' novel.[1]
Kathryn performed five songs at the festival and completed writing the project whilst touring her 'Crown Electric' release. "So I was writing the songs in Travelodges and on the side of the A1 in between gigs. Those were some dark days with only the sound of the motorway and a Little Chef to drown my sorrows in,"[2]
The Scottish Herald wrote the album was "a collection of rare eloquence and spectacular beauty" with Clash Magazine concluding "By inhabiting and responding to a genuinely significant work of literature, Williams has produced her own spellbinding work of art"[3]
