Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Laura Groves specializes in atmospheric art-pop. Originally from West Yorkshire and based in South London, she released her first single in 2007. While it was credited to her birth name, she soon took the moniker Blue Roses, and in 2009 released a self-titled album. Groves then shifted toward art-pop as a member of Nautic, a trio with Nathan Jenkins (aka Bullion) and Timmaz Zolleyn (aka Tic). She continued to work on solo material, and with support from Jenkins made Thinking About Thinking and Committed Language, EPs issued respectively in 2013 and 2015. Over the next few years, Groves performed or recorded with the likes of Bat for Lashes, Sampha, and This Heat. She capped a particularly active 2020 with her third EP, A Private Road, released on Bella Union. The simultaneously aching and comforting full-length Radio Red followed in 2023.
