exist in a world that’s entirely of their own creation. One in which Welsh mystics, Tim Burtonesque chorals and mariachi brass collide to weird extend. The Cardiff foursome will be the next Gorky’s Zygotic Myncis or even the next Super Furry Animals.
Amazing band. We do a cover of this live sometimes.

Electric Light Orchestra - Xanadu

Canned Heat - On The Road Again
It's a great driving song, got a great rhythm and the vocals are sweeeet.

Super Furry Animals - Cryndod Yn Dy Lais
you are love sick?
Roy Orbison - Love Hurts
One of my favourite artists. I could have chosen half a dozen Orbison tacks for this. The chords and melody are beautiful.
you paint your apartment?
Carl Wayne - You're A Star

Grandaddy - He's Simple He's Dumb, He's The Pilot
The second half of this song with the white noise and haunting piano gives a great floating in space feeling!

Ricky Nelson - Travelin' Man

The Beatles - This Boy
It’s my current alarm.

perfect anthem for Cardiff
Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - Iechyd Da
record you were looking for the longest
The Turtles - Battle Of The Bands
I brought it in Greenwich village, can’t remember the shop but it was $19 well spent. It’s one of my favourite albums.
a record you fell in love to
Murry The Hump - Songs Of Ignorance
first record you remember
The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
I think my dad had just brought it on CD (circa 1994) and I loved «When I’m 64» and just played that over and over. I don’t think I listened to the rest of the album until about four years later!!
a song that evokes the greatest summer of your life
The Crimea - White Russian Galaxy
your party anthem
Hot Chip - Ready For The Floor
Sparks - Reinforcements
I use to play this on a club night that Gaff use to put on in Cardiff called «Nyth». This one is from the album «Propaganda», my favourtie Sparks album, and the chorus has got an amazing energy and groove.
first record you bought
I think it was «Fresh Hits 1998». A timeless record!!
best soundtrack ever
Nino Rota - The Godfather
a song you wish you'd written yourself
Euros Childs - Circus Time
Theres thousands! Maybe «Circus Time». It changes from day to day.
