My Octopus Mind

Bristol based trio comprising wayward Scottish traveler, Liam O'Connell, insomniac polyrhythmic fiend Charlie Sorenson and the relentless genius of Izy Ellis on the doubly bass; they found themselves drawn together by a brotherly love of complex rhythms and emotional absolutism. A sound once described as cathartic nautical dream time, it would be more accurate to say rhythmically complex and dynamic folk/post rock jazzface … They spend their down time drinking tea and contemplating the nature of stuff and things and occasionally screaming at.... THE EMPTINESS!!

Rosie and The Goldbug

The band's style mixed electronics and rock and was described as "Kate Bush on crack with Goldfrapp on synths," with Vanier's voice moving "effortlessly from seductive whispers to banshee wails." Q Magazine characterised it as "somewhere between Siouxsie & The Banshees and Cyndi Lauper having a sing-off with Kate Bush; the band’s spiky synth stabs providing the perfect canvas for Vanier's enchanting howl." Simon Price, writing for The Independent, stated that the "drama-pop trio" was like a throwback to "more interesting times", noting that "Classically trained singer-pianist Rosie Vanier has a voice which leaps from sugary pop to operatic whoops, her ivories chiming through a repertoire ranging from the turbulent to the serene, and even juddering Moroder electro-disco."Morgan's playing was characterised in an NME review of a live concert as "primal, cavewoman-with-class drum bashing"
