Diverse influences

The recording process has taken Adwaith to far-flung studios in the Outer Hebrides, Lisbon, and the wild west and north of Wales, allowing them to capture a diverse range of influences and experiences.

Lead vocalist Hollie Singer describes ‘Mwy’ (the Cymraeg for ‘more’)as a reflection on reconnecting with one's homeland and finding belonging within one's community, “finding our tribe”.

The track was meticulously crafted over multiple recording sessions at studios across Wales, including Mwnci Studios in west Wales, Longwave Studios in Cardiff, and Black Bay Studios in The Outer Hebrides.

Each studio environment contributed to the rich and diverse sonic palette of the song, making it one of the most enthralling tracks on the upcoming album.

Inspiration

Gwenllian Anthony, bass player and vocalist reveals that ‘Mwy' was initially inspired by Can's seminal track '....And More', with the band aiming to create a song that would inspire listeners to stomp along to its infectious rhythm.

Drummer Heledd Owen adds:  Mwy is a celebration of our connection to the ancient land beneath our feet, inviting listeners to join in a joyous neolithic dance."
