Described by Louder Than War as “not just the future of Welsh music, but the future of music full stop,” and with their debut \"Melyn\" hailed as “not another Welsh-language album. It is Wales herself,” Adwaith proved that music rooted in language, place and identity could resonate far beyond its borders. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNow, with \"UMA\", Gwenllian Anthony begins a bold new artistic chapter. Written while touring across Europe and completed in the landscapes of West Wales, \"UMA\" was produced by Gwenllian Anthony and Steffan Pringle, with additional creative collaboration from Tim Lewis (Coil, Spiritualized). It is an adventurous, uncompromising record that moves effortlessly between industrial electronics, alternative pop, art rock and experimental sound design. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDrawing inspiration from the fearless experimentation of Kim Gordon and Björk, the rhythmic freedom of Lizzy Mercier Descloux and CAN, and the immersive sonic worlds of Nine Inch Nails, Tricky and Massive Attack, \"UMA\" feels both immediate and timeless. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAcross ten concise, emotionally charged songs, hypnotic rhythms sit alongside distorted electronics, intimate melodies and moments of startling vulnerability. Performed entirely in Cymraeg, the Welsh language is never treated as a statement. It is simply Gwen’s natural artistic voice. The result is an album that feels deeply rooted in Welsh culture while speaking in a musical language that reaches far beyond it. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlready earning widespread support ahead of release, GWEN has been championed by BBC 6 Music, Radio X, BBC Introducing, KEXP and leading publications including CLASH and The Line of Best Fit, establishing her as one of the most exciting new voices to emerge from the UK alternative scene. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEarly praise: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Working with a real sense of purpose, Gwenllian Anthony strikes out on her own… punchy and incisive.” - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCLASH\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Very excited about this… sounding great.” - John Kennedy,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Radio X\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Superb… outstanding.” - Emily Pilbeam, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBBC Introducing \/ BBC 6 Music\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Exemplary.” - Adam Walton, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBBC Introducing \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Amazing.” - Kevin Cole, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKEXP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. \u003cem\u003ePOP! \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2. \u003cem\u003eGOTH \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3. \u003cem\u003eTRIX\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003e4. \u003cem\u003eAchub Yr Iaith \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5. \u003cem\u003eDigon \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6. \u003cem\u003eUN DAU TRI! \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7. \u003cem\u003eTina ar y Crusher \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8. \u003cem\u003eUmami \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e9. \u003cem\u003eMeddal \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e10.\u003cem\u003e Breichiau Tyner y Mor\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout this product: \u003c\/strong\u003ethis release is pressed on neon green vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tangled Parrot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51074019164407,"sku":"LIB320","price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0018\/7881\/8916\/files\/6a71a27e245631714e09f330.webp?v=1787837657","url":"https:\/\/tangledparrot.com\/products\/gwen-uma-lp","provider":"Tangled Parrot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
