A-Sun Amissa & Lauren Mason / Dawn Brought Saviour

A-Sun Amissa is a new project formed out of Leeds, UK by members of Glissando. Built on the foundations of the unknown, a project that encompasses minimalist drones, modern-classical movements and avant-garde tendencies. Richard Knox (Glissando, The Rustle of the Stars, Of Thread & Mist) & Angela Chan (Glissando, The Rustle of the Stars, Ten, Tomorrow We Sail) began forming the initial ideas in the Autumn of 2011, moving away from the piano-led ambience of previous outputs. Owen Pegg joined the duo just a month later. — via Last.fm

Lauren Mason has enough energy to power a small fleet of motor vehicles. It's a fuel that burns full-throttle, ignited by the heat of her soulful voice and the power and passion of her performance. Lauren writes simple songs about complex things. Phrases turn, emotions connect & melodies soar. You sing along even though you've never heard the song before! Lauren writes from a perspective of distances, of interludes between lovers and lives and the roads that lead from small towns to big cities. — via Last.fm
