From the album Rozi Plain – Joined Sometimes Unjoined (2012)
Reviewish:
You might recognise the name Rozi Plainas a frequent collaborator with DrunkenWerewolf favourite This is the Kit, also usually joined by Rachel Dadd. Or, it might be a vague recollection that Rozi played DrunkenWerewolf’s music stage at this year’s Bristol Ladyfest.
The Winchester-born musician grew up playing guitar, performing at open mic nights and writing songs before moving to Bristol and becoming part of the Cleaner Records group – alongside Dadd and This is the Kit’s Kate Stables. Joined Sometimes Unjoined is her second album and was recorded in a studio in London, steering Plain away from the homemade bedroom recordings of debut LP Inside. Over Here.
The low-folk indie vibe is still present, with most songs balanced on a careful one-to-two string guitar melody, supported by reserved percussion and harmonised vocals. “Cold Tap” is a wonderfully meandering album opener, with a clean and plucky guitar carrying hauntingly uplifting vocals and the soft yet distinct sunny sound of steel drums.
