Gwenno goes back to her Welsh roots with a new five track EP entitled Ymbelydredd. I honestly had no idea what she was singing the first time I listened but fortunately she posted the lyrics on her Tumblr.
Ymbelydredd/Radiation
Lying in the sun and smoking through the afternoon
Discussing our dreams, not worrying about the now
There’s nothing better than wasting time in Castle park
And sneaking into the cinema wihout paying and eating ice cream
Through the endless summer your love radiates
Don’t scare me, you’ve pulled me back
What do you have to offer now that we’re friends again?
Crossing the bridge, dress from C&A
A group of men shout “who’s babysitting you tonight?”
Through the endless summer your love radiates
Don’t scare me, you’ve pulled me back
What do you have to offer now that we’re friends again?
Don’t scare me, you’ve pulled me back
What do you have to offer now that we’re friends again?
The title track elicits a carefree predilection and resonates a spirited warmth vaguely reminiscent of School of Seven Bells and/or Sleigh Bells but seems to carry more crucial dynamic range and style influences. Ymbelydredd is available now in digital and limited cassette format.
