And like the Cranberries, Roszell’s music offers an expansive spin on rock and roll.” – Canadian Musician Magazine (September-October 2021)
Roszell’s recently released, debut album, Within the Shimmering Darkness (June 2023), is rich with sonic landscapes as expansive as the view out her farmhouse studio window.
