With her third Gondwana album "Constellation", Caoilfhionn Rose from Manchester has come of age as an artist. She has dug deep to find experimental new ways to express her wonder at the beauty of nature, her love of music in all its diversity and her belief in the restorative powers both offer in the troubled post-COVID world.
Caoilfhionn (pronounced 'Keelin') has found a voice that is simultaneously ancient and modern, fearlessly exploring contemporary technologies to transform traditional songcraft for the mid-20s.
The ten tracks on 'Constellation' feel rooted in knowledge of folk, jazz and all the 20th century classics, yet they seem to create a magical, otherworldly space of their own imagination, mixing Caoilfhionn's central piano with synthesizers and pitting a live rhythm section and saxophone embellishments against ambient samples and forward-thinking production techniques.
Confident, exploratory and often breathtakingly sublime, this incredible album properly heralds Caoilfhionn Rose's arrival as a new creative force in 2024.
