Lila Tristram

With ‘Prize’, Rozi Plain lyrically reinvents the mundane and presents it as philosophical rhetoric. While the silky melodies and relaxed, walking-paced rhythms which define her music are very much present throughout this album, moments build into a groovy, excited triumph – it is brilliance.

We talk to Rachel and Becky of The Unthanks about the folk song tradition, collecting songs, and their new album ‘Sorrows Away’, one of their most extraordinary records to date.

With Sorrows Away, The Unthanks have graced us with their most extraordinary record to date. It is a tonic to lift the spirits and marks a momentous moment in the career of one of the greatest folk bands in the UK today.

Rozi Plain holds an intimate gig in the Blue Basement, hidden below Soho’s Third Man Records store to celebrate the announcement of her forthcoming album Prize…Lila Tristram was there to soak it all up.

José González’s “Local Valley” treads the line between the secular and the spiritual – the ideas put forward in this album probe the corners of human consciousness while ultimately being an expression of love, peace and unity.

Lila Tristram shares her highlights from this year’s Green Man Festival which culminated in the burning of the Green Man, the perfect ceremonial ritual to celebrate the long, long-awaited reunion of artists, fans and friends.
