Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - Let's Get Together (In Our Minds) 7"
29th February, eh? Extraordinary. Who knows when this will happen again, so let's celebrate with some extraordinariness from the joint best band from Wales.
More Gorky's for y'all, as I find more of these 7" in the pile. All good stuff, this one a 1998 release in a laid-back style, is off the Gorky 5 album, which I actually don't know at all. What I do know, however, is that apparently Gorky's had 8 singles in the UK top 75, but never got in the top 40. That's what Wikipedia says, anyway, so it could be a lie.
The first b-side is a weird American country track, with violins and all, and is clearly a Welsh person singing in an American accent. Despite that, it's good. Or does that automatically make it good? Anyway. Good. The second b-side is a Welsh-language number, which appears to be a cover, but of whom I have no idea. Folky.

'Hwiangerdd Mair' is a traditional Welsh Christmas carol (trans: 'Mary's Lullaby'). Gorky's contributed their version to an album called 'It's A Cool, Cool Christmas' which is actually worth checking out.
