Well, after the popularity of the Super Furry Animals posts, here's some more Welsh craziness! This was a band I always meant to get more into, but somehow never got past a couple of singles. Have to dig around on Spotify and see if I can find some more...
This single is a good one all round. The a-side's really great, with the Jew's harp putting its mark on indie-rock - a sadly under-used instrument, in my opinion. Except by Leonard Cohen, when it's perhaps sadly over-used at times. The couple of b-sides on here (those were the days) are also good, a slightly more rocking one and a slightly less rocking one. Relaxing, that's the word all round really. Somehow this record fits exactly with its cover. You'll understand.
1. Diamond Dew
2. The Queen Of Georgia
3. Tears In Disguise
It's right here.
All the B-sides (well, nearly all) from these people are really good. They were a singles band besides their LPs, and you can find some jewels on all their releases. I almost like them best when they sing in Welsh.
ReplyDeleteA fine band to discover and explore, from their rather eccentric beginnings to the more relaxed records from the last years. And the solo careers are good too. I suggest you check them out more toroughly.
Thanks for the uploads!
