Trwbador Trwbador

Fabulous debut full length from Welsh duo Trwbador, following the rapid fire sell out of the bands first vinyl outing- the magnificent "Mountain"/"Once I Had a Love" double A sided 45. Long since championed by the likes of Radcliffe, Maconie, Laverne and Stephens on 6music not to mention thumbs up (and collaborations with) the likes of Cornershop- the bands star is on the rise, having recently accepted offers from the Welsh tourist Board to use their music in the current TV ads not to mention a trip out to Mumbais Kala Ghoda festival in February, and a Green Man slot prior to a release of any kind. Their intricately woven, uniquely fragile, electronic folk is totally captivating- merging the campfire folk of the 60s with subtle use of present day electronics and digital rhythms, over which vocalist Angharads wonderfully expressive, almost naïve vocal passages knit the tunes together in killer fashion. A beautiful record released on white vinyl in an edition of 300- expected to follow the recent 45s path and sell out quick style. "The best new band in Wales. I love what they do" ~Huw Stephens. "They're original and beautiful" ~Adam Walton/BBC Radio Wales. "A sound that is otherworldly, yet real. Mechanical yet tender" ~Joe Sparrow/A New Band A Day. "Trwbador are amazing. For us they show the echoes of genius of Young Marble Giants or Trixie's Big Red Motorbike, and that's no bad thing at all" ~Cornershop.
