Hippies vs Ghosts Release 5th Album ‘Giamocs’

Owain Ginsberg (The Heights, We Are Animal) returns with Hippies vs Ghosts 5th album titled ‘Giamocs’ released via Bandcamp.

The Welsh multi-instrumentalist, singer songwriter & producer is on fine form as always, he is easily one of the most consistent song-writers over the past two decades. ‘Giamocs’ oozes class from beginning to end.

Recorded at his home studio in France the record has elements of Can and songs which wouldn’t be out of place on a Quentin Tarantino or Guy Ritchie movie soundtrack, to be fair that would be a poor portrayal of his song-writing because for me his songs are in a different league to any songs that ever appear in these movies.

Owain has an ability that not many other musicians can ever reach. He always manages to capture something which sounds so alive and free, tribal in space! Some of the best melodies and riffs you could never imagine. He really attacks your mind with melodies, its futuristic yet still has the deepest of roots and gets right into your soul.

I’m not the first to say that Owain is a living genius. I’ve heard it said by some of the best names in music over the years.

ADWAITH announce new album Bato Mato due first of July via Libertino

Welsh post-punk three-piece Adwaith have today announced their eagerly anticipated second album Bato Mato will be released on 1st July via Libertino, following hotly in the footsteps of their trailblazing Welsh Music Prize 2019 debut Melyn.

The band’s memories of speeding through Russia on a trip to perform at UU.Sound in Ulan-Ude, Siberia have seeped into the fabric of their second record and today they also share the first song they wrote after that life changing adventure, ‘ETO’.
Influenced by the Siberian and Mongolian wilderness, as open and vast as the limitless sky around them, ‘ETO’ perfectly captures the trio’s growing confidence with its open-hearted soaring melody’s and lyrical vulnerability.

“We really wanted to write a heartfelt song about being infatuated with someone.” explain the band, “This isn’t something we normally write about and we wanted to approach this song differently to our other ones. We felt inspired to write a big pop song.”
