With her haunting new single 'I Found a Place in the Woods', chamber-folk artist Roxy Rawson invites listeners into a fairytale world of shadows and light, grief and renewal. The track offers the first glimpse of her forthcoming album 'Bright Star' (2026) - her most ambitious and expansive work to date.
Produced by acclaimed composer and arranger Jherek Bischoff, the single is autumn in song form: fragile, haunting and ethereal, yet illuminated by sudden bursts of warmth and uplift. Rawson's Pre-Raphaelite vocals float above sweeping piano and strings -delicate yet commanding, balancing vulnerability with quiet strength.
Accompanying the release is a beauitful hand-drawn animated video by Anna Maria Lesevic, set deep in the forest. It tells the story of a woman lost, slowly finding her way back to herself - a visual reflection of the song's emotional arc.

Rawson's music has been described as chamber-folk, art-folk, and orchestral folk -- labels that hint at her sound but never quite capture its singularity. Her voice, often compared to Florence + The Machine, Agnes Obel, Regina Spektor, and Joanna Newsom, is unmistakably her own: ethereal yet grounded, intimate yet expansive, drawing listeners into soundscapes where shadow meets light, sorrow sits alongside joy, and every note shimmers with emotional depth.
Rawson first emerged in London's anti-folk collective alongside Emmy the Great, William Nein, Fiona Bevan, and Left With Pictures. Her debut EP 'Changing Things' (2009) and an early development deal with Sony brought critical acclaim and airplay from John Kennedy (XFM), Rob da Bank (BBC Radio 1), and Tom Robinson (BBC 6 Music). Indie press including God is in the T.V., Earmilk, and Wears the Trousers praised her originality, and she went on to perform on some of the UK's most iconic stages from Ronnie Scott's to the Royal Albert Hall, Union Chapel (supporting Yasmin Levy), and the Roundhouse (supporting Sia).

Born into a Mormon community in Hitchin, UK, Rawson broke free from the constraints of her upbringing to pursue music. That search for liberation led her to Paris, where she studied violin and piano at the Conservatory, immersed herself in classical repertoire, and joined an African choir- experiences that continue to shape her sound today.
At the height of her early momentum, her career was interrupted by a long-term health battle. Diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Lyme Disease, she spent nearly a decade bed-bound, during which time she experienced a near-death episode and the collapse of her marriage. From this period she developed Compassionate Body Listening- a practice that helped her heal, restore physiological calm, and rebuild her emotional resilience.

'Bright Star', the forthcoming album introduced by 'I Found a Place in the Woods', is the direct outgrowth of this journey - a record shaped by survival, grief, liberation, and renewal.
Today, Rawson stands as an artist fully in her own voice. Alongside her music, she founded Berlin's Feral Folk Festival, where she continues to foster artistic community and experimentation, and works as a Compassionate Body Coach, supporting people living with Lyme and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Now, as anticipation builds for her forthcoming album 'Bright Star', Rawson stands ready to captivate audiences once again with music that is as uncompromising as it is exquisite.
