rozi plain

on her 5th album (& her 2nd dinked edition), rozi strips things back to their essence to reveal their innate beauty.

her singular unaffected vocal, a self-built electric-guitar & cyclical meditative patterns of plucked staccato figures are crafted into a quietly complex & entrancing set of gently askew songs. love her!

rozi has assembled her widest cast of players to create an album that not only preserves the intimacy of her signature guitar-&-vocal sound, but accentuates these moments of calm & explosive emotion, midst a soaring, collective spirit. from the blissful vocals of this is the kit’s kate stables & alabaster deplume’s soft saxophone on ‘agreeing for two’, to the call-&-response vocals on ‘prove your good’; from the expansive instrumentation & ornately co-ordinated arrangements of help' & ‘sore’, to the sublime synth celebration explorations of ‘painted the room’ & the woozy jazz-inflected ‘spot thirteen’; there’s a sense of togetherness throughout ‘prize‘. and we’re very happy to join in once again.
