Papur Wal - Amser Mynd Adra CD/LP

With the trusted support of their long-time producer Kris Jenkins (Super Furry Animals, Cate Le Bon, H Hawkline) on the desk Papur Wal have crafted an emotive coming of age album. As with Neil Young’s "After The Gold Rush", "Amser Mynd Adra" discusses maturing into the seemingly bleaker period of mid-20s adult life, away from the carefree abundance of young adulthood.

As Ianto explains “moving out from living with friends into the rest of your life, the fear of missing out, the everyday existential crisis, the guilt that comes with not knowing what to do next, separation anxiety and a new way of living your life that makes it all the more difficult to go back to do what you used to do”. 

Rhwng Dau Feddwl, Arthur and Meddwl am Hi opens the album in a flurry of unforgettable melodies and perfectly displays the dichotomy at play within Papur Wal’s debut. It’s these contrasting desires to embrace the future with all its uncertainties yet at the same time still hankering for the carefree horizons of youth that brings a strong and relatable narrative ark to "Amser Mynd Adra". 

Meddwl am Hi with its Big Star chord play was the first song that the band wrote that marked their transition from 90s alternative / art rock to a more 70s-pop-inspired songwriting and arrangements. It established a poppy and melodic back to basics style that is evident on Brychni Haul with its early Beatles wistfulness recalling and embracing the good time.
