Listening Diary 20250225

  • frans asthma - wait outside - https://fransasthma.bandcamp.com/album/wait-outside: A Getmusic freebie. Four track EP of small quiet songs - the longest is 2:20 - that nevertheless attract and enfold the listener in their own little worlds.
  • Rhys Mwyn - Recordiau Rhys Mywn - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0028b8w - This week’s Monday night (mostly) sioe gerddoriaeth Cymraeg ar BBC Radio Cymru 2. Rhys was singer and bassist in Anrhefn and runs the label Recordiau Anrhefn, and he knows his stuff. This week includes a chat with actor Gareth Potter, who also happened to be involved in a quite a few influential Welsh bands, such as Clustiau Cŵn, Traddiodiad Ofnus and Pop Negatif Wastad. It’s an education every week.
  • Sulk Rooms - Take A Look At God’s Face (Music From The Original Soundtrack) - https://thomasragsdalemusic.bandcamp.com/album/take-a-look-at-gods-face-music-from-the-original-soundtrack: New from the highly productive Thomas Ragsdale, a soundtrack for a short film by Jack Laurance which sounds rather desolate, if atmospheric, and probably makes more sense with the film.
