#Melin Melyn

[bandcampsnoop]

10/14/24.

Nearly two year ago, we posted about Melin Melyn (Cardiff, Wales) and their debut LP "Happy Gathering". We mentioned at the time how it recalled the work of fellow Welsh bands Super Furry Animals (and by extension Gruff Rhys) and Gorky's Zygotic Mynci (and by extension Euros Childs). The only other Welsh band I would add is Race Horses.

Now comes their follow up "Mill On The Hill" released by London label Kartel Music Group. They may have changed their label, but their sound remains delightfully the same. Pop psychedlelia in the best possible way.

HMS Morris unveil Impressive new ‘Family Souls’ single

The band’s first release since reforming as a family of four offers up a bouncy art-pop collage dealing with the dissonance between Heledd’s roles as a dutiful west-Walian daughter on one hand, and as a badass creative force to be reckoned with on the other.

Despite the general global turmoil of the last few years, HMS Morris have had a pretty good time of it since their last release, Pastille EP, in December 2020. They’ve branched out into composing for theatre and television, added two new members to the crew (danger-hips guitarist Billy Morley and renowned Kermit impersonator Iestyn Huw Jones on drums), and have more or less settled into the idea of being in their 30s.

Their new live show reached maturity last summer with two very special fully-costumed 7-piece performances at the Eisteddfod in Tregaron; now Family Souls marks the beginning of a new phase in their careers as recording artists. After an introduction of sampled strings, drum loops and bratty BVs, a riff-led verse finds lead singer and lyricist Heledd Watkins berating herself for her inability to perform properly in front of her family.

Her inner-critic is annoyed and confused, but this is a problem for a lot of artists; how do you reconcile the persona you’ve cultivated in order to give yourself creative freedom with the image that’s held by those who raised you? Or at least, the image that you imagine they hold – as the song passes through a dreamy bridge into a low-key funky chorus, the narrator realises that she probably doesn’t know what they’re thinking after all. Despite the unshakeable conviction that you know these people on a deep level, ultimately you cannot read their minds, and it might be an idea to actually talk with them.

Treating your parents like people in their own right, how terribly grown up! Family Souls will be released on Bubblewrap Records on April 7th , and will be available on all major digital services.

The Bug Club (Monmouthshire, Wales) were first mentioned here nearly 3 years ago. In that time, they've changed a little. First, they are no longer on the label Bingo Records (they've released many great records including Melin Melyn). Second, they've changed their sound some. When we first posted about them, their minimal sound was likened to both Beat Happening and Les Cox Sportifs.

"Rare Birds: Hour of Song" is a hodge-podge of sounds recorded over the past year. This is a double LP and as such, the band called it "a ""South Wales' Double Nickels On The Dime". This has got some weirdness that recalls Gorky's Zygotic Mynci at their finest. But, really, there are sounds that sound like Australian punk/post-punk. Then I saw that this was mastered by Mikey Young.

This is released by Canadian label We Are Busy Bodies.
