Born through an ever exciting mixture of boredom and whimsy, the Rosie Taylor Project take country, folk, indie, and pop melodies to fill the listener with summery nostalgia.
The soft, melodic tones of this all too attractive group have been flowing quietly from a cosy corner of Leeds for a short, but wonderful period. The various members brought with them a menagerie of influences, engulfing all aspects of the musical spectrum.
"…sun-warmed folk, reflective and soulful…inhabiting a world where electric guitars gently buzz, a trumpet softly blows and the vocals are a murmur among pristine melodies"
- Ged M SoundsXp.com
"…delightfully maudlin trumpet interjections…vocals which positively ache with sadness"
- Russ Indiemp3.com
"a beautiful accompaniment to the Summer… sketched out with sounds that dazzle even from distant horizons. Compelling."
- Music-dash.co.uk
"'This City Draws Maps' is a heartbreakingly romantic record of acoustic lullabies and soft, hushed vocals that give you goose bumps all over and a serious case of the shivers"
- neonbuzzmagazine
"These are tender optimistic songs about acceptance of life's ups and downs, sincere and self-assured."
- Sandman Magazine
"At times electric guitars melt into the sound, making them sound like Iron & Wine meets Nick Drake's orchestration on Brighter Layter. This isn't twee Englishishness but good story writing layered over strong blues roots, leaving you quietly optimistic."
- Sophie Kemp Sandman Magazine
"..an essential record: one that all must own...every note perfectly balanced, every track perfectly formed 9/10"
- James Keen
"The Rosie Taylor Project - playful... bashful... soulful...never woeful... WONDERFUL!"
