Adwaith, return with their latest single, ‘MWY,’ giving us the first glimpse into their ambitious third album. The double Welsh Music Prize winning trio are known for their relentless desire to push forward musically, Adwaith continues to explore new sounds on ‘MWY’ while staying true to their unique artistic vision.
A rare groove of bubbling kinetic energy, nimble percussion, catchy mantra-like lyrics and glowing harmonies, ‘MWY‘ offers a new dimension on Adwaith’s ever evolving and intriguing sound. This forthcoming album is not just an ordinary release; it will be a double album in length, reflecting the band’s expansive creative journey over the last 12 months. 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‘ as a reflection on reconnecting with one’s homeland and finding belonging within one’s community, “finding our tribe”.
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.”
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 pallete of each song.
