Troth - An Unfinished Rose (2025) [Hi-Res]

An Unfinished Rose by Troth (Amelia Besseny & Cooper Bowman) is a gorgeously crafted and emotionally resonant album that blends torch songs, dream pop, folk, ambient, and DIY experimentalism. Marking a new chapter for the duo after relocating to Hobart, Tasmania, the record reflects their evolving sound with more acoustic instrumentation, deeper post-production, and a renewed sense of space and subtlety.

Building on their past releases for A Colourful Storm, Knekelhuis, and Not Not Fun, Troth maintains their intuitive, improvisational approach, now with a more refined touch. Tracks like the jazzy and cinematic “Tides Reflected In Her Eyes” and the dreamy dub-pop of “Cocoonist” highlight their range—from raw, ambient explorations to structured but offbeat pop. Besseny’s vocals shine throughout, often moving between incantation and melody.

Though drawing loose comparisons to artists like Jonnine, YL Hooi, or Arthur Russell, Troth remains utterly singular. Their music feels timeless and detached from trends, full of textural richness, serendipity, and emotional depth. An Unfinished Rose is their most mature and spellbinding release to date—an underground gem brimming with beauty, risk, and soul.
