"The 32-year-old Welsh multi-instrumentalist Gwenifer Raymond is a perfect advertisement for the benefits of chasing down rabbit holes. As a young Nirvana fan, she heard their cover of Lead Belly’s Where Did You Sleep Last Night and started hunting down American acoustic blues, then sought guitar lessons from a teacher who introduced her to John Fahey, the pioneer of American primitive guitar music. Fahey echoes throughout her mesmerising debut album (there’s even a track called Requiem for John Fahey). So much so that hearing it blind you would refuse to believe it had been recorded by a Brighton resident originally from Wales. Surely this stew of bluegrass, blues and haunted Americana could only come from a land where cotton and tobacco grow." The Guardian

Originaire de Brighton et traumatisée par Nirvana à l'âge de 8 ans, Gwenifer Raymond s'essaya au punk puis au blues au contact d'un bluesman auprès duquel elle apprendra les techniques de l'american primitivism et du banjo des appalaches. Une figure fougueuse de la nouvelle génération.
