Beautifully textured, gentle, sensitive, understated, mysterious, stripped-back alternative folk by the English singer-songwriter, also joined by colleagues from This Is The Kit, saxophonist Alabaster DePlume and harpist Serafina Steer. Rozi’s lyrics sound simple and clear, her rhymes sharp and poignant, yet their meanings wonderfully gnomic and ambiguous, from the former Song of the Day Agreeing For Two to the strangely wrong-footing number Complicated (“Of course it’s complicated / You hate it / It needed eating / So you ate it”) the lilting Help, to Prove Your Good (“Prove you did, prove you do / Proving it to who?”). Deceptively simple, soothing and offbeat in its melancholy, there’s so much to unpack on every listen, the apparent simplicity and gentle musicianship unfolding into many gorgeous layers of exquisite subtlety. Superb. Out on Memphis Industries.
