Today, April 30th, Scottish singer and songwriter Roseanne Reid shares the intimate new EP ‘Horticulture’, via Last Man – Stream ‘Horticulture’ EP hereA limited vinyl version will be released on June 25th – Pre-order ‘Horticulture’ EP Vinyl here.

Talking about the EP, Roseanne says; “’Horticulture’ consists of four songs, all written and recorded at home over the course of lockdown. The songs deal with isolation, loss and realising the vitality of the natural world around us. It is a response to a testing year from a place of hope.”

Lockdown and cancelled tours in 2020, saw Roseanne perform a series of popular live streams from her garden. Inspired by her interest in horticulture, she enrolled in a degree course whilst also learning music production and recording techniques. These two new skills created the basis for ‘Horticulture’.

Entirely written and home-recorded during lockdown by Roseanne herself with Graham Coe on cello and mixed by The Who and Manic Street Preacher’s producer Dave Eringa. ’Horticulture’ includes the previously released singles, the haunting  ‘You Underestimate Me’ – which premiered on BBC Scotland’s Another Country with Ricky Ross – the serene ‘Tentsmuir Sky’ – inspired by Tentsmuir Forest in Fife, Scotland – the emotive ‘Fly High’ and meditative closing track ‘Passing Through’. 

The limited 10” vinyl format will include ‘The September Tapes’ on the B Side – originally released last year the three tracks were recorded in one day while Rosanne was in Nashville for the Americana Festival in September 2019 – “I had this new song that I wanted to record and also a couple of covers that were resonating for me while I was there,” explains Roseanne.

Roseanne will be finally back on the road supporting The Wandering Hearts on their re-scheduled UK tour in August. She will also play a headline show at The Sound Lounge in Sutton on September 10th and The Long Road Festival on September 11th, before supporting Teddy Thompson in 2022 on his 12 dates tour starting at Glasgow’s Oran Mor on 21st January 2022, touching London’s Earth Theatre on 28th January, before ending at Manchester’s Band On The Wall on 3rd February – More info and tickets here.
