gps99 trwbador 'mountain/once i had a love' 7"
300 only, white vinyl
To use the age old expression "stunning debut single" doesn't begin to cover this 1st 45 by ace new Welsh duo TRWBADOR. An incredible double 'A' side which acts a perfect taster to the bands' imminent full length (vinyl on The GPS) in April.
Having already attained plays on Radio 1 and 6music and been added to 'The Green Man' festival line up prior to any releases, and with "Red Handkerchiefs" (from the LP) providing ample backdrop to the current 'Visit Wales' TV ad- (the album version of which features longterm fans Cornershop), momentum is building nicely, aided by some incredible live shows just now.
A delicate blend of campfire tinged folk with subtle use of electronics and digital rhythms; overlaid with Angharad Van Rijswijk's expressive, fragile vocals, it's one heady combination. 'A' side "Mountain" is a wonderful stop / start, gorgeously fragile psychedelic trip woven around a killer, beguiling sampled xylophone passage, beautifully overlaid with layers of Angaharad's vocal lines. An amazing piece, supplemented with the more stripped down, almost eerie ode to lost love, "Once I Had a Love" on the reverse.
Just a great record, in an edition of 300 copies on white wax. As ever with GPS releases, not expected to hang around long...
"The most exciting band in Wales." Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 1
"Trwbador are amazing, for us they already show echoes of the genius of Young Marble Giants or Trixie's Big Red Motorbike, and that's no bad thing, at all..." Cornershop
gps101 two sunsets 'venetian skies/sandunes' 7"
300 only, diecut sleeves
Wirral based duo TWO SUNSETS comprise Phil Bridges and Sean Butler. Their music is rich in kaleidoscopic soft psych hues with cyclical drones with hazy lo-fi summery vocals and both tunes here hint at a gorgeously understated brand of dream pop. Comparisons with the Super Furries and Flaming Lips have been thrown around yet to these ears, they have a sound distinctly their own.
Personally, I prefer the line I read recently, "like mercury melting downstream to canyons of colour" that kinda sums it up nicely! The bands' description of their music being "almost overly exposed and out of focus" also hits pretty close. "Venetian skies" is dreamily perfect pop with it's double 'A' side "Sandunes" featuring the over exposure the band refer to- in this case a hugely skew-whiff keyboard riff holding the piece together with it's off kilter production techniques, like Joe Meek at his most whacked out perhaps...
A fine debut 45 in die cut sleeve on the ever dependable Great Pop Supplement in a pressing of 300. Get on it!
gps104 trwbador 'trwbador' lp
300 only, white vinyl
Trwbador are blessed with a delicate sound somewhere between campfire folk of the late Sixties and ever-evolving bedroom electronics of the here and now, Trwbador have carved out their own little corner of the musical landscape over three years of working together. They have picked up praise along the way from the likes who Huw Stephens who described them as 'The most exciting band in Wales' and Adam Walton who describes the sound as 'Original and Beautiful'. James Dean Bradfield from Manic Street Preachers and Tjinder Singh from Cornershop among others claim to be big fans.
Trwbador the self titled debut album by the duo is a collection of songs written across their first 3 years of existence and recorded in 5 different homes the band lived in during that period. The record is rich and varied in style and features colaborations a plenty, most notably Cornershop who provide sitar and tampura on 'Sun In The Winter'.
