"This is an album of ambition and great bravery. I think it is one of the greatest musical
achievements of any Welsh band, ever." - Adam Walton, BBC Wales
"They create a hypnotic, heart melting sound that's simultaneously life affirming and
post apocalyptic, the glow on your child's face after a screaming fit" - God Is In The TV
Thanks to everyone for you wonderful comments about our live performance on BBC 6 Music last night!
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and want to thank Tom Robinson for inviting us along and being happy-friendly-good to us.
If you missed the show, you can listen again via the BBC iPlayer, which is available to anyone with a computer and internet access (much like us) for the next 7 days.
Tom very kindly took some photos of us playing and I’ve uploaded some of the best for your amusement:
Some very exciting news for all you Glow fans (and indeed us!)
This Tuesday (4th March) we’re off to London to play LIVE on Tom Robinson’s BBC 6 Music show.
The show goes out between 19:00 – 21:30 and is available on DAB, Freeview/Sky/Virgin and on the web here.
We’ll be in the studio performing some of our favourite tracks. We haven’t decided which yet, although we do have a shortlist, so if there is any track you’d really like to hear, let us know in the comments!
Tom played Your Turn again on his Monday night show and said nice things about it, which was lovely.
Anyway, tune in on Tuesday night to catch us quite possibly destroying perfectly good songs through fear
A sneek preview of ‘Borderline’, from our upcoming album.
Ben and Jim lay down a guitar part for the track, which is a VERY early version with just chords as a guide.
Hi everyone! Our latest single, Your Turn, is slowly infiltrating the airwaves…
On Saturday night (actually, Sunday morning) Tom Robinson played it on his ‘Introducing…’ show on the BBC’s 6 Music. I’m a big fan of 6 Music and am even more excited by this bit of airplay than getting on Radio 1 a few weeks back (ooh, controversial).
If you like Your Turn (which we really hope you do!) you can vote for it to be played again next week by going to Tom’s 6 Music site here. Please do take a moment to do this and help us get our music out to as many people as possible!
Remember that you can get Your Turn and all of our previous material absolutely free by going to the music downloads page on our site.
You may have noticed things slowly changing around here over the last couple of days. The old blog and site were looking a bit rough around the gills, so we put them to sleep and created one new über-site! That’s right. No more separate blog. No more awkward switching between the two. We’ve collected together all of the best bits and put them in the same place. There’s even a popup media player, so you can listen to our music as you read about how we recorded the album.
Don’t worry, the old blog content has been moved over to the new site, so if you were originally a subscriber, you still are!
You can look forward to more material in the coming weeks. We’ve all been a bit wrecked by the short Winter days and the misery that comes with them, but now we’ve got a batch of gigs coming up we’ll be bright and springy before you can say “I, Yeah!”. Talking of which, we’ll have more info about that soon – we promise!
Yes, that's right folks. Bethan Elfyn was kind enough to play 'Your Turn' on her Radio 1 show last night.
You can listen again here and get the tracklisting for the show here. The show will be available to listen to for the next 6 days, or you can download 'Your Turn' in high quality MP3 format completely free from our website right here.
You're all probably sick of hearing how the album is very nearly very nearly nearly finished, so just to be completely untruthful, we've decided to start from scratch and redo the whole thing!
See you in 8 months
On the other hand, it could just be that we can reveal two more things about the album for you…
