Description
(4 PANEL DIGIPACK WITH LYRIC BOOKLET) ‘Yn Ol I Annwyn’ Welsh for Return To The Underworld’ it is the third part of the trilogy of albums that began with ‘Noeth Ac Anoeth’ in 2015 and 2017’s ‘Y Proffwyd Dwyll’ (which got them nominated for the Welsh Music Prize in 2017). Whilst MWWB as a band have never been overly visible they don’t tend to be idle. 2018 saw them release a split 12” with kindred spirits Slomatics and being personally asked by Robert Smith of The Cure to play his Meltdown in London. Not to mention playing an international array of dates and other festivals prior recording this epic third album. So last Summer along with new bassist Stuart Sinclair MWWB returned to Skyhammer Studios and Chris Fielding to create ‘Yn Ol I Annwyn’. The 8 songs that comprise thes album sees the band delve deeper into their collective influences embracing full on space rock atmospheric film soundtracks melancholic acoustic interludes psychedelia cosmic moogs and percussion moments of introspection and light … and of course large helpings of doom. The fat riffs big hooks and endless space grooves are all present. Jessica Ball’s voice glides over it all both sweet and melancholy yet this time more assured. A myriad of stacked harmonies and layered vocals weave in and out of the tracks adding an ‘other-worldly’ melodicism to the songs. Here’s what guitarist Paul Michael Davies had to say …“For the 3rd album I wanted to take the band’s sound even further but still stay true to what made us start the band in the first place. Personally I think the doom scene is (thankfully) thriving but some of the ‘genre’ tropes can be a bit limiting and we are all about pushing that. So some elements of this album will be something different for the usual doom fan. It’s kind of a nice mix of our usual heavy riffs but with some fresh elements. Vocalist Jessica Ball adds … “Album number 3 definitely fits in with the theme of our music evolving as we’ve been hinting at with the design on our album covers.
