‘Contemporary album of the month’ – The Guardian

London-based harpist Marysia Osu has shared bewitching new piece ‘Seatime’. 
A classically trained artist with a longing for aesthetic independence, Marysia Osu is working on her own potent vein of freedom music. Jazz adjacent improvisations, she’s been drawn into the orbit of Brownswood Recordings – one of our favourite labels – who will release new album ‘Harp, Beats & Dreams’ on October 18th. 
Recorded predominantly on her own, the record is completely homemade, a process that allowed her to reach “different emotional states and moments”. 
New piece ‘Seatime’ finds Marysia reaching outwards, attempting to touch on emotions she can’t quite describe. The overused word ‘ethereal’ doesn’t quite sum up what she’s attempting – there’s a spiritual quality to these melodic traversions. 
Harp melted together with opaque electronics, it finds Marysia Osu – who is also a key component of Levitation Orchestra – firmly embracing her solo characteristics. 

“Marysia Osu’s Harp, Beats & Dreams (Brownswood Recordings) is a piece of oddly wonky, disconnected R&B, where Osu’s heavenly harp flourishes are backed by ultra-slow breakbeats and mutilated samples. It’s most effective on the more minimal tracks such as Dream Language or Despite Being in Love, where her solos are drenched in reverb and wreathed in ghostly, highly textured percussion.”
