The Brighton-based artist Bess Atwell released the single “Sylvester” at the end of 2023, personifying an inner tension between the desire to be a source of joy for those we love, and the subsequent dissatisfaction and loneliness that these attempts can also bring.

Shortly after recording the track, Atwell was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, which brought a wave of affirmation for her both personally and artistically.

In her own words, Atwell talks about the single:

"Sylvester is a character I created on a family vacation as a child to make my parents laugh. It's a song primarily about family, the roles we play to maintain peace, and the desire for a more genuine form of connection."

With the release of the album Already, Always (2021), Bess Atwell's message as a songwriter was fully realized, marking her as one of Britain's most confident young voices.

With her subsequent album from 2022 Already, Rearranged, Atwell captures her classic vocals and raw lyrical depth with a more electronic sound, drawing the listener on an emotional journey that, with the synthesizer and bass, can be felt deep in the heart.

In the beginning of 2024, Atwell also released the single “Release Myself”, which, in harmony with “Sylvester”, captures the artist's emotionally charged explorations of personal experiences and the complexity of human relationships in her more classic singer-songwriter style.

Med sit tredje album, Constellation, er Caoilfhionn Rose blevet voksen som kunstner og har gravet dybt for at finde nye, eksperimenterende måder at udtrykke sin undren over naturens skønhed, sin kærlighed til musik i al dens mangfoldighed og sin tro på de genoprettende kræfter, som begge dele giver i en urolige post-COVID-verden.

Caoilfhionn (udtales 'Keelin') er energisk, søgende og altid nysgerrig og har fundet en stemme, der på én gang er ældgammel og moderne.

De ti numre på "Constellation" føles forankret i en viden om folk, jazz og alle det 20. århundredes klassiske sangskrivere, og alligevel synes de at skabe et magisk, overjordisk rum af hendes egen fantasi, der blander Caoilfhionns piano med synthesizere og sætter en live rytmesektion og saxofonudsmykninger op mod ambiente samples og fremtidsorienterede produktionsteknikker.
