✮✮✮✮ – THE LIST
Bringing together two of the UK’s finest voices in alternative folk, Lost Map Records are excited to announce a special split 7” single by Bristol friends Rozi Plain and Rachael Dadd, due for release on October 6, 2014. ‘Jogalong’ is the first track to be revealed from Rozi’s forthcoming new album (TBA), while ‘Strike Our Scythes’ is taken from Rachael’s imminent new album We Resonate, which arrives on French label Talitres on November 17. The single tracks are streaming and shareable online now, after premiering on The Quietus. Watch and share the video for ‘Strike Our Scythes’, directed by James Hankins (OLO Worms), here. Rozi and Rachael are touring the UK across the next several weeks – see below for dates.
One of Lost Map’s founding artists and among the most respected and popular talents on the label, Rozi Plain previews an atmospheric and entrancing new sound on ‘Jogalong’, full of tensely circling guitar lines, heavenly backing vocals and cosmic synths that orbit like flying saucers. It bodes excitingly for the much anticipated follow-up to Rozi’s two remarkable albums to date – 2008’s Inside Over Here and 2012’s Joined Sometimes Unjoined, both currently available on Lost Map. Engineered by Kristian Robinson (Capitol K) back in January 2014, it will feature contributions from Gerard Black and Amaury Ranger (Babe / François & The Atlas Mountains), Kate Stables and Jamie Coles (This Is The Kit, of which band Rozi is also a member), and singer-harpist Serafina Steer.
With the beguiling ‘Strike Our Scythes’, Rachael Dadd – a long-standing friend of Lost Map’s, who has appeared at several of our live events including the recent Howlin’ Fling Festival on Eigg – meanwhile reveals a small sample of the abundant aural treasures to be unlocked on her exceptional new album We Resonate, which features contributions from Laura Marling’s sideman Marcus Hamblett, experimental Japanese multi-instrumentalist ICHI, Alessi Laurent-Marke of Alessi’s Ark and Rozi Plain among others. Rachael is the recipient of an Emerging Excellence Award by Help Musicians UK, and We Resonate is her fourth full-length album to date.
