Gwenno has released Y Garth, a new single featuring Cate Le Bon And H. Hawkline from her upcoming album.
The Welsh-language track unfurls over a hazy blend of electronic textures and piano, and marks the third preview of 'Utopia', due out on July 11 via Heavenly Recordings. Head below to view the song's accompanying video. The Welsh-Cornish artist said:
"Y Gath means The Cat. I just don’t know how I feel about cats, you know? But I also think it’s because I am a cat in many ways. I see myself in these creatures and I’m part envious, part disgusted by them. So it’s a song about cats and birds nodding at you, and the style of the song evolved quite naturally into something very familiar and Welsh.
"And then when I asked Huw (H. Hawkline) and Cate (Le Bon) to be on it, it just made complete sense. We all knew what it needed to be, because we’ve all grown up on S4C and 70s psychedelic rock music, and Welsh language music. So we didn’t need to have a big conversation, we just know what this is about."
Gwenno previously teased the follow-up to 2022's Mercury Prize-nominated 'Tresor' with the tracks War and Dancing On Volcanoes.
She has UK tour dates in the diary for the autumn, following a handful of shows over the summer months, including a date supporting Alanis Morissette in Cardiff and appearances at Glastonbury Festival and Green Man Festival. Tickets are on sale.
