Roseau - Salt (2015)

Roseau, AKA Kerry Leatham, has made the brilliant debut album she's long promised to. As well as appearances on acclaimed records from Lapalux, an inclusion on Bonobo's Late Night Tales, and tours with Lianne La Havas, and Laura Mvula, Leatham's music has been featured on Grey's Anatomy and Adulthood. Add in her one million plus plays on YouTube and Spotify, a modeling campaign for Adidas Originals and being tipped by Shura; anticipation for her debut album as Roseau has been running high. Finally, at the end of June 2015, Big Dada is proud to announce the release of the album, Salt with lead track "New Glass" .

Written and recorded in the space and quiet of the Essex countryside, Salt contains music both elemental and intimate. Its sonics were inspired by a chance exploration of a giant abandoned warehouse beside a walk Leatham loves. Finding herself in a vast space with only an old car tire, an extinguished bonfire and some bottles and sticks, she screamed, threw bottles, sang, stomped, hit the tire with the sticks, and made as many sounds as possible - then she came back, day after day, to record them.

After starting work on the album at her parents' house, she brought in Doganion, her friend and former Tape Club labelmate, for a fresh set of ears. The pair set about writing and recording in Red Bull's studios, and Leatham soon roped in Jacob Welsh from The Hics and Mark Rainbow from Laurel Collective to help. After the bulk of the writing and recording was complete, she returned to her family home to tailor and tweak, putting the final touches to her astonishing debut.
