Tradfest Presents:

Rozi Plain

Lost Map Records and Summerhall are proud to announce Rozi Plain’s exquisite third album Friend,released on May 4, 2015, will be launched in our very own Dissection Room. A spellbinding reaffirmation that the London-based, Winchester-born singer-songwriter is one of the most unique and original voices in UK alt-folk.
She has taken her joyous live show on the road around Europe, the UK and the USA, in partnership with alt-folk luminaries from Devendra Banhart to James Yorkston and Lost Map’s own The Pictish Trail. She has appeared at festivals from Glastonbury to End of the Road and Green Man. As a member of This Is The Kit, Rozi has also toured widely, including several dates around Europe last year opening for The National.

 

Main Support – eagleowl

eagleowl started out as a two piece in 2005 and have since acquired a modest handful of players. The line-up today are founding members, Bartholomew Owl (guitar, vocals) Malcolm Benzie (violin, guitar, vocals) and Clarissa Cheong (double bass, vocals) Rob St. John (organ, harmonium, vocals) Hannah Shepherd (cello) and Owen Williams (drums). Fortunately the upgrade from duo to sextet hasn’t compromised the quiet elegance of the project.

this silent year, eagleowl’s debut LP, was released in 2013. The album opens with the sound of footsteps, and builds with the gradual introduction of instruments, and finally vocals, at 39 seconds in. Thoughtfulness is a priority on this silent year – there is emphasis on textures, and rather than relying on traditional structures, the songs use layers of instrumentation to thicken the sounds.  The songs undergo a process of alchemy through the considered architecture of the verses. Hypnotic melodies accumulate meaning and are striking in their strange familiarity.

At times mesmerising, and at times fun, this silent year is unrelentingly moving and yet stubbornly slow paced. The effect is an album of enhanced, yet belligerent beauty.
