Angharad releases sublime 'Motherland' debut via Libertino

Emerging with an intense amalgamation of genre's, impressive debut long-player from Swansea based singer-songwriter 'Angharad' is certainly an interesting listen that flits accross traditional 'perfect pop', disco, Americana, Folk Pop, and extends to the darkest depths of avant garde experimental noise with spoken word.

Stand out tracks are 'Postpartum' which is certianly the darkest and most experiemental song on 'Motherland', self titled album opener boasts downtempo beats and jazzy sax which comes accross as a fantastic foreward and sets the vibe. 'Don't Burn Bridges' stops you in your tracks, beautiful piano and superbly orchestrated strings carry you away to the 'Motherland'.

Angharad's eclectic debut is a sublime testament to the beauty of creating life, living and enjoying it, and whatever it brings.

ANGHARAD releases her anticipated debut album 'Motherland' via Libertino Records.  Deemed as an artist and songwriter 'with fire, passion and unflinching honesty at the core of all her music' Angharad's music has been described by Deb Grant, BBC 6 Music as 'Provocative' and "A confident and positive ‘call to arms’ for women in the music industry" by Cassie Fox of Loud Women

Angharad Added:

"My mother is also a musician, but took a back seat from her musical career for some 15 years in order to focus on raising me and my sister. Even before I was ready for children, it played on my mind how could I follow a career in music and become a mother. I used to play out different scenarios in my mind, such as giving myself a certain amount of years, then a change of career. When the time came, I wasn’t ready for a career change. I felt I had more to offer creatively than ever before. I’d reached an age where I had knowledge, confidence and useful networks to really progress to the next level. I wasn’t prepared to let all that go simply because I’d decided to start a family. So far, starting a family has enhanced my creative output. I just need to be flexible, and open to thinking differently about how to manage it and get it out there. My wish is to see the industry being as open to these changes as me, and every other mother who’s tirelessly figuring out how to do both.” 

Motherland – Angharad

I am mother . These are the first words we hear after hitting play on Swansea-based [genre: e.g. pop-folk storyteller] Angharad’s debut album Motherland, and this affirmation resounds across the twelve tracks that follow, revealing the gravity of what initially appears to be a simple statement but is in fact an assertion weighted by the story of mothers and motherhood across the ages. I am strong. I am gentle. I am mountainwoman. I am nourisher . I am life-giver . I am all you need right now. I am the moon and the stars. I am everything to you. I am your world.

It’s said that early motherhood is simultaneously the happiest and hardest period of time a mother can experience, and this is reflected by the juxtaposition of the dreamlike spoken-word jazzscape of title track ‘Motherland’ and the bass-driven midnight-feed nightmare of ‘Postpartum’. In ‘Motherland’ we listen as the tidal pull of the moon ushers new life in – “nocturnal and luminous” – while in the album’s first single ‘Postpartum’ both music and mother unravel in an unapologetic cacophony of fatigue and repetition: “I’m exhausted and I’m broken, exhausted and I’m broken, I’m exhausted and I’m broken…get off my tits.”

As the songs that open the album, these two compositions couldn’t be more different, but as Angharad points out “...this is exactly what motherhood is like. It’s the joys and horrors.

Elation and despair . I put those songs next to each other because that’s how it is in real life – you can feel both emotions simultaneously .”

Although Angharad is an experienced musician, perhaps best-known as part of revivalist Welsh folk band Calan, Motherland represents her first foray into songwriting – something which has long been an ambition. “I’ve always felt like I had a lot to say , but I presumed that someone else somewhere would be saying the same things. It took me so long to realise nobody else can tell my story .”

However , it was the double isolation of experiencing early motherhood during Covid lockdowns that finally made her pull on this songwriting thread. “I’ve always collaborated with others when it comes to music, but lockdown forced me to work alone. I’ve written melodies in the past, but never lyrics. I began with making up songs to get my daughter Tanwen to sleep, and then I’d find myself fine-tuning them during daily walks with her in the pram, or making up new ones. I’d never sung before but, after becoming a mother , finding my voice was both a necessity and a gift.”

Libertino Records (Wales) have been putting out great music for several years. At the beginning, there were no physical releases, but that is changing. First, just last month we mentioned the great Ynys LP. Before that, we mentioned Alex Dingley.

Now we have Sister Wives. The band definitely recall the work of Look Blue, Go Purple, Francisca Griffin or older posts like Would-Be-Goods, Susan or Seablite.

Caldo de piranha

JÁ tem vídeos do Dynho Alves espalhados no Twitter, aqueles que provavelmente são do Privacy! Nada de mais, bundinha, pau duro dentro da cueca branca... Essas coisas "básicas". A Internet é uma "terra" bendita, nada fica oculto. Tudo aparece, vem a tona e todo mundo fica sabendo. Internet é o local da exposição, "exposed" para o bem ou para o mal está acima do bem e do mal, faz parte da Internet.

"...o pensamento é uma coisa, outra coisa é o ato, e outra coisa ainda a imagem do ato. A roda das causas são gira entre eles." -- NIETZSCHE (Assim falou Zaratustra). O Leandro Karnal, que é ótimo, e que já tive a oportunidade de ver, a primeira vez em 2017 na PUCPR, diz algo parecido sobre "energia", ele vai além, diz que o odeia essa coisa "energia", acho que ele diz que odeia ou algo parecido, repudia, tipo, energia não é nada, claro, alguém que se diz ateu não deve acreditar em energia, milagre, sobrenatural, deuses, demônios e afins. Mas, como diz Nietzsche, pensamento é só pensamento e não passa de pensamento se não se tornar ato, sem ato não se tem nada, mas há algo que tem grande importância, a imagem do ato. A imagem do ato reportar a um outro pensamento, aquele que diz que não basta a mulher de César ser uma mulher direita, ela tem que parecer uma mulher direita. Essas duas ideias se aplicam e encontram lugar importante na Internet e nestes tempos que já foram líquidos, agora são "cloud" em que a imagem vale mais que o ato e a realidade por trás da imagem, é o que nos faz ou traz as redes sociais, stories de quinze segundos que sobrevivem por um dia, imagem gravada para sempre na Internet, que se espalha como penas de um travesseiro soltas ao vento num dia e ventania.

NA academia eu estou orgulhoso de mim, meu treino, em especial na bicicleta, está cada vez melhor. Hoje bati meu próprio record fazendo 23 km em 40 minutos, de pingar a camiseta, encharcar a toalhinha. Depois mais 20 minutos de esteira para completar uma hora e desacelerar. Depois vem mais uma hora de musculação, gosto mais dos treinos B e C, hoje foi A. E os coleguinhas? São só imagem, não são atos, mas são pensamentos. Pensamentos lascivos, libidinosos. Gosto da palavra libertino, assim como as anteriores está em desuso, quase arcaica.

CALDO DE PIRANHA é da novela, a Maria Bruaca está virando uma piranha, pelo menos vontade não falta. Caldo de piranha também pode ser a sua água do banho, caríssimo leitor. Já que o assunto é piranha, hoje o boy que eu tava pegando no começo do ano, final do ano passado e começo deste, voltou a atacar, mandou uma foto, não uma nude, mas uma foto de pau duro dentro da calça enquanto dirigia. Disse que lembrou de mim e mandou a foto. Pensamento, ato e imagem. E quem é a piranha? Ah, isso dá um caldo.

Everything Solved at Once: Silent Forum

Kevin McGrath reviews the long-awaited debut album, Everything Solved at Once, from Silent Forum which includes tracks such as ‘Robot’.Silent Forum Promotional Image

Two years ago, Silent Forum released Sanctuary+, a cassette-only compilation issued through Oddbox, that collected together a handful of the band’s essential singles and EP’s recorded between 2015-2017. For die-hard followers of Cardiff’s indie-noir outfit this was a sign of progress, proof positive that the band had left some sort of imprint on the capital’s music scene. At the same time, however, it felt like the end of an era too – despite his captivating stage presence, frontman Richard Wiggins (think Ian Curtis, Samuel T. Herring and Marcel Marceau all rolled into one) remained the best-kept secret in Welsh pop; the band still hadn’t secured a conventional record deal and they were largely absent from the nation’s radio stations too. And all this at a time when fellow Cardiff combo Boy Azooga, playing to an audience of millions on Later…with Jools Holland, seemed to have hit the top jackpot on the first spin of the wheel.

The group’s frustration with the Welsh music establishment was evident on “How I Faked The Moon Landing”, a groovy, six-minute epic that railed against the band’s continued underdog status. Indeed, the song’s key line ‘We’re destined to be a local band not on local radio’, while being laugh out loud funny, was a disarmingly honest appraisal of the group’s prospects. There was a delicious irony, then, in events as they unfolded in the summer of 2018 – a song furiously lamenting a lack of radio exposure was suddenly ever-present across the airwaves. Soon enough, DJs, bloggers and music critics were including the track in their ‘best of 2018’ playlists. The frenetic follow-up single “Robot” reinforced the impression that this was a band on the up and an album deal with Libertino was announced before the summer was out.

While it’s entirely predictable that Everything Solved at Once, Silent Forum’s confidently constructed debut album should kick off with the uber-pop of killer single “Robot”, the pair of tracks that follow thrillingly confound expectations*. “Spin” is a hypnotic maelstrom of fractured guitar licks and soaring vocals, while “Safety In Numbers”, an atypical ballad built around interweaving melody lines, overlapping vocals and an intriguing meditation on friendship (the tune drifts to a close with a roll call of band members and a status update as to their well-being), is a stunning track that speaks to the band’s versatility and ambition. Side 1 (the revival of vinyl means that we can write about albums in these terms once again), concludes with “A Great Success”, a number that surges along on a classic indie-noir riff, before climaxing in a stadium-sized chorus, and the curiously-titled “Credit To Mark Sinker” (a music journalist, if you were wondering), which sees Wiggins channelling his inner Robert Lloyd. Despite an intriguing lyric, it’s probably the least effective track on show here.

The title track kicks off a strong second side; “Everything Solved At Once”, a punchy number with a towering chorus, is reminiscent of early-period Editors and has ‘future single’ stamped all over it. “A Pop Act” is a prequel/sequel to “How I Faked The Moon Landing” and offers further surreal commentary on the band’s struggle to punch a hole in the pop stratosphere – ‘Went back to the Swedish furniture company / returned our flat pack songs / I don’t like my music bland… I like it intense and sad’. The album builds to an edgy finish with three outstanding tracks; “Outmoded”, is a brooding, beast of a track built around a mournful base motif and a shrill guitar; “A Kind Of Blue”,  a song which has been a staple of the band’s live shows for some time, usually sparks into life in a live setting thanks to Wiggins’ strange exhortations during the tune’s extended instrumental break. There are no visual aids to cue our emotional responses here, of course, but the song is a triumph nonetheless, thanks to the pitch-perfect production skills of Charlie Francis. Importantly, the album benefits from a coherent feel throughout, despite the unexpected presence of a trumpet and even a burst of canned applause at one point, which is testimony to Francis’ guidance but also, to the chemistry that exists between comrades-in-arms Oli Richards (bass) Dario Ordi (guitar) and Elliot Samphier (drums). The album closes with the delirious, dance-punk of “How I Faked the Moon Landing”, the song building to a triumphant close as Wiggins defiantly positions the band as outliers – “Why would we want to be like them?” he insists over and over again as the music exhausts itself.

Everything Solved at Once is a black-comedy concept album about life on the fringes of the Welsh music biz, which is something of a first for my record collection and, quite possibly, yours. While pop music has a history of self-referential songs, from “Hey, We’re the Monkeys” to the 80’s frippery of “Ant Music”, Silent Forum push this self-obsession to its limit, with over half of their debut LP (as well as a couple of recent B-sides) devoted to the internal machinations of the band. This may seem to be a chronic case of navel-gazing and part of me does indeed yearn for a return to the intense, anxiety-driven songwriting that gave birth to early band classics such as “Limbo”, the emotionally pulverising “Who’s Going to Side With Me?” and the traumatic epic “Hosanna”.  Wiggins has clearly moved on, though, writing with a self-deprecating sense of humour and a sharp eye for a whip-smart one-liner about his band and, in a curious sub-theme, workplace alienation as experienced by a cluster of ‘data cleansing worker bees’.

Everything Solved at Once catapults Silent Forum straight into the top tier of indie-noir, even as they begin to shift their sound into a more dance-punk oriented direction. In common with other trailblazers of the genre, from The Murder Capital and Fontaines DC to the punkier Shame, Silent Forum make music that thrums with the disquietude of the times. While Indie-noir hasn’t delivered an outright classic album post Joy Division, Everything Solved At Once, a claustrophobic, yet cinematic record, may, in time, rank alongside near misses such as Whipping Boy’s Heartworm (1995) Interpol’s Turn On The Bright Lights (2002), Editors’ The Back Room (2005) or The National’s High Violet (2010).

A Kaleidoscopic Christmas Update

Tom Rose of Reveal Records

Having taken the decision to keep the tracklisting for A Kaleidoscopic Christmas under wraps in order to build suspense pending a festive season social media blitz, it seems that I’ve given myself something of a tricky task in trying to create a buzz for an Xmas album when the big day is still five months away. To make Christmas seem an even more distant prospect, the country finds itself right in the middle of a record-shattering heatwave! 

Nevertheless, there is exciting news to relate. I can announce that Reveal Records have been tremendously supportive of the project, making their entire back catalogue available to help raise funds for Crisis.  As a result, there will be three artists from the label contributing to A Kaleidoscopic Christmas. As above, I’m not revealing (pardon the pun) the artists names, but a glance at the label’s intriguing roster at https://www.revealrecords.co.uk/ will allow for some informed speculation. Massive thanks to label supremo Tom Rose for his kindness.

As well as Reveal, Warners, Libertino, Country Mile, Damaged Goods, Kill Rock Stars, BMG, Slumberland, Subjangle, Diskokaine, Monde Green Records, barsuk records, Snowflake Singles Club, Green Monkey, Lights and Lines, Alcopop!, blue-very disques, Anyway, Osborne Again, JAC World, Gas Station Music, Storysound, Caru, Cherryade & 131 Records have all generously made tracks available for the album. 

There are 3 or 4 other labels presently deciding whether or not to make tracks available to me, including for a couple of very well known artists. Keeping my fingers crossed that the spirit of generosity shown by those companies above will prevail again here. 

I end with my customary appeal: If you have an original Christmas song, past or present, that you wish me to consider please email me at [email protected]

My book of selected reviews/interviews Pop Hack is available to order from Amazon. Every penny I receive is passed to Velindre Cancer Centre.

Recordiwyd y canaeuon yn fyw i ddal sain amrwyd ac egniol y triawd o'r Cymoedd gan y cynhyrchydd Kris Jenkins (Cate Le Bon, SFA, Gruff Rhys). “Mae Weithiau yn gân am orffen perthynas gyda rhywun ti’n caru a’r prosess o ddod i deall bod pethau ddim yn gweithio. Mae am rhoi dy hun gyntaf.” - Katie Hall, Chroma Mewn cyferbyniad perffaith cerddorol i felancholy diwyro ‘Weithiau’ mae ‘Caru Cyffuriau’ yn gân punk ddi-stop ‘in your face’ am fod yn dy arddegau yn y cymoedd, de Cymru. “Mae ‘Caru Cyffuriau’ am ‘naughty’ teenagers yn y cymoedd yn mynd lan y mynydd i cymrid ‘drugs’ ac arbrofi gyda rhyw achos does dim lot I neud.

This is the group's first release after joining the Libertino label. The songs were recorded live to capture the versatile and energetic sound of the Valleys trio by producer Kris Jenkins (Cate Le Bon, SFA, Gruff Rhys). “‘Weithiau’ is about ending a relationship with someone that you love deeply. The process of coming to terms with the fact that the relationship doesn’t work, and putting your self first in that situation.” - Katie Hall, Chroma In perfect musical contrast to the sometimes melancholy 'Weithiau', 'Caru Cyffuriau' is a non-stop 'in your face' punk song about being a teenager in the South Wales Valleys. “Caru Cyfffuriau is a song about being a naughty teenager in the valleys experimenting with drugs and sex because there’s not much else to do. I think there needs to be more stuff going on so young people don’t feel so isolated. We wanted to write a welsh language punk song that reflects young people's lived experience today.” - Katie Hall, Chroma

9/9/22.

This seems like the perfect time to remind us of the blog rules. The music must be on Bandcamp and there must be a physical release. While Ynys doesn't have any physical release on Bandcamp, Libertino Records (Wales) does have the self-titled album available both as an LP and CD.

Ynys appears to be the work of Dylan Hughes (Aberystwyth, Wales). I've got to say, Welsh pop has a distinct sound. Hughes immediately brought to mind the excellent work of Race Horses and Super Furry Animals.

Libertino Records has been on my radar for quite a while. Be sure to check out Alex Dingley who made his album with the help of Tim Presley and Cate Le Bon.

An uncompromising and unique voice!

Wyau and Pyst, the first two easy to find Datblygu records are beautifully hard to classify and exquisitely lo-fi: loops of found sounds over a drum machine and seemingly whatever instrument they happened to have to hand; “Nofel O'r Hofel” is a particular favourite from this period. Moreover, “Rauschgiftsüchtige?“ on Libertino helped me to correctly pronounce six in Welsh, something I used to struggled with! (“BT British bastard Telecom… Chwech Chwech Chwech…”)

Aquela história de verão ameno e tal era tudo blá-blá-blá... Tá um calor do inferno.

À TARDE quando volto da academia os pedreiros da obra estão indo embora, vejo vários bem interessantes, uns novinhos, aparentando vinte e uns anos e tal. Hoje tem alguns trabalhando na altura, na verdade um andar acima, da minha janela, uma visão favorecida e tal, mas são uns velhos, uns lazarentos de feios. Caralho. Já que tenho que aturar essa obra, pelo menos que os interessantes trabalhassem do meu lado, que ficassem ao alcance dos meus olhos libertinos.

GÊNESIS -- tenho visto os capítulos da novela da Record desde que o Pablo Vittar (nãããooo) Morais apareceu nas cenas que contam a "estória" da Torre de Babel. Já postei várias fotos do ator e tenho mais para postar e nas cenas de ontem ele apareceu sem camisa, um escândalo. Ah!, também vi cenas dos primeiros capítulos, quando Adão é Eva fodem com tudo e são expulsos do paraíso, essas cenas foram gravadas em Ponta Grossa, algumas no Buraco do Padre e outras no parque estadual de Vila Velha. O começo de tudo retrata o mito da criação. A fonte da Torre de Babel estão no livro de Gênesis, no capítulo 11, nos versículos de 1 a 9, não diz quase nada. Um ou outro versículo do mesmo livro ou de outros se referem a Ninrode (Nimrod ou Nemrod) sem vínculo algum com a torre. Algumas referências a descendência dele, neto de Noé, filho de Cam (Cam foi amaldiçoado) e caçador. Também há referência a Ninrode como sendo um líder, chefe e tal. Há que se levar em conta que aquele tempo os "povos" eram grupos pequenos. O nome Ninrode (Nimrod, Nemrod) significa "rebelar-se", ou seja, trata-se daquele que foi contra, no caso, contra a vontade divina. Mas era comum àqueles povos darem um nome após a morte ao contar histórias que retratassem quem foi aquela pessoa, no caso, fui um homem que se rebelou contra Deus, Ninrode. O talmude babilônico conta um pouco mais sobre esse personagem que foi um líder, que inspirou pessoas e essas junto com ele construíram uma enorme torre que tinha por meta chegar ao céu, ou seja, encontrar o criador lá em cima. Em todas essas histórias/estórias sempre há certa semelhança com outras, como por exemplo os mitos gregos etc. De Ninrode se diz que não tinha escrúpulos a ponto de chegar a desposar a própria mãe. E que tamanha era a pecaminosidade e crueldade de Ninrode que os seus tramaram sua morte. Após a morte de Ninrode, Semíramis, sua mãe/esposa, se declarou uma "deusa" e deitou com muitos homens e teve outro filho que ela enxergou como sendo a reencarnação de Ninrode, Tamuz.

'Hotel Del Salto' Announces New Single

"Imagine the pop experimentation of Bowie and Prince, throw in a bit of Beck and a bit of Mac DeMarco. The result: Hotel Del Salto. J. Francis combines brilliantly experimental songwriting with playful lyrics, a DIY approach to recording and, most of all, an irrefutable talent to package his influences into one, wonderful, 3-minute-long tracks. Gigslutz   Hotel Del Salto (AKA J. Francis) follows up the success of debut single 'Bigger Than Elvis' by adding another string to his bow; the art-pop cocktail of new single 'Stand For Your Right'. Taking cues from the dance/rock crossovers of Primal Scream and Art of Noise, while infusing the experimentalism of 60's pop pioneers such as Brian Wilson and Syd Barrett. 'Stand For Your Right' is a bold artistic leap.   Written in late 2016, the song has the unusual facet of being produced over two continents. "I wrote the main chunk of it in my hometown, Carmarthen. I had the idea of writing a protest song that was very linear, the fallout in the UK post referendum was deeply disturbing... then I went out to Texas for six weeks over election time and obviously there's parallels out there. It's about people sticking together rather than be divided"   'Stand For Your Right' is a thrilling testament of Francis's creative vision.  Starting with a hypnotizing guitar and kick drum, before giving away to Francis's swirling vocal mantra above a deliciously classic bass groove. The track never lets up in playing around with the listener's expectation of pop structure.
