Rozi Plain – in session for Marc Riley – BBC 6 Music – January 13, 2023 – BBC 6 Music
Rozi Plain to bring aid and comfort to a particularly fractious week. Even though this session comes from January, her voice and music head straight into Summer night territory, where thick evening air and hypnotic Jasmine do their best to lull and transform even the most frayed of nerves into the warm and welcoming place.
In the event you’re not familiar – here’s what her Wikipedia page says:
Rozi Plain was born Rosalind Leyden in Winchester, England, in 1986. In 2006 she moved to Bristol to study art, and she participated in the Cleaner Records group there. She recorded two records published by King Creosote’s Fence Records, Inside Over Here (2008) and Joined Sometimes Unjoined (2012). In 2012 she moved to London.
In November 2012 she recorded a live session for Lauren Laverne’s BBC Radio 6 Music show.
In 2015 Plain released a new album, Friend, followed in 2016 by a companion album of remixes, unreleased tracks and radio sessions, Friend Of A Friend. In 2019 she released What a Boost and in 2020 What a Remix.
She is a member of This Is the Kit and regularly contributes to the music of her friends, including Rachael Dadd, François & the Atlas Mountains, and Bamboo, with whom she has performed live on a number of occasions in 2016.
Plain has toured with the likes of Devendra Banhart, KT Tunstall and Paramore, as well as performing at Green Man Festival and End of the Road Festival.
So now you know – all that’s left for you to do is get rid of the work clothes, slide into something comfortable – sit back, press Play and go somewhere. Doesn’t matter where.
And while you’re here . . .you know we don’t run ads – stopped running them more than a few years ago. The ads were noisy and pretty awful and they were a huge distraction, having to wade through a lot of useless barking in order to get to the good stuff. But we still have to pay the bills, and there’s a ton of them and they don’t like to wait. And so we ask you consider becoming a subscriber and support all the stuff we do every day by kicking in what amounts to being an Americano Grande every month to be part of the solution and not the problem. In todays bizarre economy it ain’t much – but it means a ton to Past Daily. All you have to do (and we make this as simple and pain-free as possible) is head over to Patreon (that red box just below that says “Become A Patron” that you click on) and check us out. You can do 7 days free just to kick the tires and take a test drive. And if you like us, hit the subscribe button and become part of our rather haywire little family. Not bad, considering we just want you to like us.
