RHAIN is the somewhat confusing moniker of one Rhian Teasdale from the Isle of Wight, whose music is much more straight-forwardly brilliant. Following a string of recent festival appearances, she's unveiled her latest release, the alt-folky 'Time Traveller' below.
Recorded with Sunday Best's Plastic Mermaids, 'Time Traveller' is an ode to RHAIN's grandfather or "oupa" as she prefers, who apparently still regularly drives his car and takes his dog for a walk despite being well into his nineties. Good show, sir. And good show, RHAIN, whose mesmerising music is evocative of Joanna Newsom, or closer to home, Alessi's Ark.
RHAIN headlines Servant Jazz Quarters in London on 5 September. Find more info at facebook.com/rhainmusic.
