21 Oct 2021

The story of Siôn Bodiau and the Gwiber is one of the fables included in this superb collection. Intended for children, this book would make an excellent Christmas stocking filler for any youngster who wants to be acquainted with the rich archive of traditional Welsh folk tales. Divided into three sections the book includes stories about dragons, mermaids and fairies ( three on each ). The titles are listed below. Whilst...

Cardiff riotous rock 'n' rollers Pigeon Wigs have released their stomping debut single Near The Knuckle today.

Ceri Shaw - @ceri-shaw
15 Oct 2021

Pigeon Wigs are band newly sprung from Cardiff’s most fertile soil. Formed from the writing partnership of Harry Franklin-Williams & Louis Jugessur, the band's music ranges from the bombastic and unrelenting, to the sombre and fragile. Indulging in whatever genre best suits their aim, they continue to maintain the soon to be unmistakable sound that one can only describe as Pigeon Wigs. Released today (Wednesday 6th October), Near The Knuckle is a blindingly rambunctious debut single full of hearty guitar riffs, sleek vocals coupled with colossal drums and an instant...

Cardiff pop powerhouse Alice Low has today released her stunning second single Cry-Baby.

Ceri Shaw - @ceri-shaw
15 Oct 2021

Remarkably, this morning, Cry-Baby already received it's debut radio spin on BBC Radio 6 Music from Huw Stephens (29.09.2021). A song full of pop melodies and danceable hooks, Alice Low is making a habit of writing uplifting, fun and left-field music while highlighting important issues. The accompanying video also showcases Alice's wry humour and visual identity. Alice explains; "Cry-Baby was the last recording I made before growing breasts. I was afraid, not only of the changes I was about to face, but also of the loss of self and the grief of my manhood. As a man I had...

Ritual Cloak + Autumn Juvenile New 'A Human Being Is The Best Disguise' Album via Bubblewrap Collective

Ceri Shaw - @ceri-shaw
9 Oct 2021

A Human Being Is The Best Disguise by Ritual Cloak & Autumn Juvenile Ritual Cloak · A Human Being Is The Best Disguise 'A Human Being is the Best Disguise’ is a reworking of Ritual Cloak’s self-titled, largely instrumental debut release, except now with added lyrics and vocals by writer, comedian and spoken word performer Autumn Juvenile. The resultant hybrid takes the glacial electronica of the original album, before injecting it with a cocktail of dark narratives, observational detail and social commentary. Autumn Juvenile describes the process: “All lyrics are a mix of...

'A Human Being is the Best Disguise’ is a reworking of Ritual Cloak’s self-titled, largely instrumental debut release, except now with added lyrics and vocals by writer, comedian and spoken word performer Autumn Juvenile. The resultant hybrid takes the glacial electronica of the original album, before injecting it with a cocktail of dark narratives, observational detail and social commentary. Autumn Juvenile describes the process: “All lyrics are a mix of real-life lies, workplace gossip, online flirtations and (most unforgivably) pure imagination. They were written on stifling...

Bandicoot return with new single 'Life Death and Other Things' out via Libertino 08.10.21

Ceri Shaw - @ceri-shaw
1 Oct 2021

It feels fantastic to have Bandicoot back with a brand new single, ‘Life Death and Other Things’ after a summer of re-establishing themselves as one of Wales’s most exciting live bands. Taking its influence from Randy Newman, Bowie’s ‘Station to Station’ and Scott Walker, ‘Life Death and Other Things’ is yet another bold move from a band who are steadily building an envious back catalogue on their journey towards a remarkable debut album. Vocalist Rhys Underdown explains the story of ‘Life, Death and Other Things’ creation: “Life, Death and Other Things is a song about songwriting. It...
