Berlin-based British songwriter and composer Ben Osborn has brought together two of his long-term collaborators, Bethany Roberts (Bristol) and Malo (Leipzig), to form a unique trio of built of three distinctive compositional and musical voices. Oscillating between folk-inspired poetic songwriting, minimal groove-filled electronica and experiments in multilayered, textured ambience, the trio morphs from collaborative creations to reinterpreted songs and pieces from each individual artist. The trio plays a selection of chosen venues around Europe in 2022.

Coming from a poetic folk song tradition, Ben Osborn’s work draws also from electronica and classical music to create a space in which highly personal and deeply political stories can be told. Ethereal string sections rise and fade, complex electronic beats skitter, dreamlike piano chords drift into view: in less capable hands it might sound miscellaneous, but he weaves his disparate influences into textural tapestries that sound like nobody but him. Following his critically acclaimed debut solo album “Letters from the Border” and a string of collaborative releases, Ben returns with a new E.P. on Nonostar Records in 2022, exploring how global crises affect our collective and individual emotional life.
