ROSE MCDOWALL’s trajectory from punk provocateur to chart-subverting pop star to underground neo-folk musician has been one peppered with unknowns and adventure. McDowall began her career in her hometown of Glasgow, operating within the nascent punk scene with her first group The Poems. After a meteoric rise to pop stardom with Strawberry Switchblade (along with friend Jill Bryson), McDowall submerged herself in the post-industrial landscape, becoming a member of Current 93 during their purple patch and a guest on records by artists as diverse as Psychic TV, Felt, Coil and Nurse with Wound, McDowall’s status as the unofficial queen and muse of the underground is well deserved. After the recording of several demos which resulted in the ‘Cut With The Cake Knife’ album (Night School/Sacred Bones, 2015), McDowall formed Sorrow to further explore her interest in psychedelic, folk music. Considerably darker in tone than Strawberry Switchblade, but still resplendent in McDowall’s angelic, heartfelt vocal, ‘Under the Yew Possessed’ is a cult album that belies a classic pop song writing sensibility. Issued in a limited gold vinyl edition for Record Store Day 2018, ‘Under the Yew Possessed’ enjoys a full Night School reissue later this summer, followed swiftly by ‘Gem’( in October) a new album of recordings with Canadian musician Shawn Pinchbeck. This Oct 1st concert will be a rare performance from Rose with her new live band, comprising of several members of Scotland’s ever burgeoning music scene featuring Russel Burn ex of Fire Engines/WIN/Spectorbullets and Jeremy Thoms ex-Revillos/Strawberry Tarts and currently The Cathode Ray amongst them.
