CMU Approved

Approved: Rhosyn

By | Published on Wednesday 24 November 2010

Rose Dagul is a kind of one-woman orchestra, which makes it difficult not to compare her to Cameron Mesirow, aka Glasser. Okay, it’s not that difficult, but both names are rattling around in my head at the same time, so I thought it best to get the comparison out of the way in order to move on. But before I do, it’s worth noting that both are highly adept at looping layers of instruments and vocals to create their songs.

Previously frontwoman of Wap Wap Wow, Dagul is now Rhosyn. Having worked with producers including Yannis Philippakis of Foals and Hugo Manuel of Jonquil in the past, her latest self-produced recordings take her compositions to a whole new level. Songs seemingly build out of nothing, with vocal loops placed gently on top of each other, while violins, piano and percussion slowly sidestep in almost unnoticed.

You can catch Rhosyn, with her live band, supporting Jonquil at CAMP Basement in London tonight.
