Join the Nature-loving Cosmonaut on a Trip to the Weird Side…
Togged out in a mirrored headdress, black boiler suit and giant, custom-made wings, Mary Epworth looks like an intergalactic queen in an old episode of Doctor Who as she greets Q on a drizzly afternoon in East London. “I’m going for Kraftwerk meets Eurovision,” cackles the singer as she swishes her iridescent appendages around her.
Fans of the psychedelia-spiked folk on Epworth’s 2012 debut Dream Life might be surprised to see her dressed like she’s about to help Tom Baker tackle the Cybermen, but then her music itself has gone through a remarkable metamorphosis of late.
