Rogue Jones brand new single 'Off By One' Out Now via Libertino
Rogue Jones - 'Off By One'
(Scroll Down For English)
Wedi'i gymryd oddi ar eu halbwm arbennig 'Dos Bebés', gafodd ei rhyddhau ar Libertino fis Mawrth, 'Off By One' yw sengl ddiweddaraf Rogue Jones.
Eglura'r band: “Mae recordio gyda Frank Naughton (cynhyrchydd Rogue Jones) yn Nhŷ Drwg yn golygu llawer mwy na recordio caneuon. Ein hoff ran o recordio gyda Frank yw pan rydym ni'n yfed tê ac yn sgwrsio gyda fe am rai o'r pethau anhygoel sydd yn ei ben. Arweiniodd un o’r sgyrsiau hyn i ni ddod i wybod am y camgymeriad ‘Off By One’.
Dydyn ni ddim yn siŵr os gallwn ei esbonio'n iawn ond i'n meddyliau anwyddonol ni, mae'n gamgymeriad sy'n cael ei wneud wrth gyfrifo - a ddylai'r dilyniant ddechrau ar 0 neu 1. Ydych chi'n cyfrif y pyst neu'r bylchau sydd rhwng y pyst? Ta waeth, roedden ni'n hoffi'r syniad fod rhywbeth mor syml yn gallu chwalu'n meddyliau ni - ac o fanno daeth y gân.
Fi (Ynyr) daeth lan gyda strwythur y cordiau a'r geiriau ar gyfer y gytgan, lle bu Bethan yn rhoi cig ar asgwrn yn ysgrifennu’r penillion. Roedd 3 pennill ychwanegol ond yn anffodus roedd rhaid anghofio amdanynt fel bod yr albwm gallu ffitio ar un ddisg 12". 'Da ni'n falch bod y fersiwn hir honno, o'r diwedd, yn cael ei rhyddhau’n ddigidol ynghyd â’r fersiwn sydd ar yr albwm.”
Bydd y ddwy fersiwn o 'Off By One' allan ar Libertino ddydd Mercher 7fed Mehefin.
Taken from their critically acclaimed second album 'Dos Bebés', which was released on Libertino in March, ‘Off By One’ is the latest single from Rogue Jones.
Rogue Jones - 'Off By One'
Rogue Jones explain the background to the creation of ‘Off By One’: “Recording with Frank Naughton (Rogue Jones' long time producer) at Tŷ Drwg is about so much more than recording your songs. Our favourite aspect of the recording is the first half an hour or so spent drinking tea and chatting about some of the incredible things within his head. One of these educational chats introduced us to the ‘Off By One’ error.
We’re not sure if we can explain it accurately but to our non-scientific minds it’s an error that is made in computing which stems from the failure to specify whether the sequence should start at 0 or 1. Do you count the fenceposts or the gaps between fenceposts? Anyway, we liked the thought of something clinical and mathematical being capable of being undone by something so simple - so that’s where the song came from.
I (Ynyr) had the chord structure and some sort of lyrical skeleton for the chorus which Bethan fleshed out as well as writing the verses. There were an extra 3 verses to the song but we had to cut them in order to fit the album on one 12” disk. We're pleased to be able to release that longer version digitally, along with the single version heard on the album.”
Both versions of 'Off By One' will be released on Libertino on Wednesday 7th June.
