British indie folk artist Rachael Dadd makes music that blends beauty, joy, and adventure in equal measure. Dadd's music has its roots in British folk traditions, while adding a wealth of other influences, including D.I.Y. experimentalism, serialism, pastoral psychedelia, and electronic music, and the result communicates a playfulness and sense of wonder that complement her melodic sensibilities. Dadd's early recordings, such as 2005's Summer/Autumn Recordings, were straightforward acoustic efforts, and she would explore more adventurous and richly layered arrangements on albums like 2011's Bite the Mountain. With 2019's Flux and 2022's Kaleidoscope, her work had matured into a fusion of acoustic and electric elements that explored greater dynamics while maintaining the gentle spirit at the heart of her songs.
