The Brooklyn-based Wilsen formed after Londoner Tamsin Wilson met her future bandmates Johnny Simon Jr and Drew Arndt at Berklee, Boston.
Two years later, and after a mini-album and some choice support slots with the likes of Daughter and London Grammar, the trio’s incredible dreamy folk-tinged sound came to London. After their first UK shows earlier this month we caught them at Brighton’s Great Escape festival for a performance of “Dusk” - a song that captivated us a year back and still holds sway on every listen.
Wilsen’s Magnolia EP is out now.
