More about: Melin Melyn

Melin Melyn have just shared their new single ‘Dewin Dwl’, taken from their just-announced debut EP Blomonj, out 17 August on Bingo Records. It’s written entirely in Welsh, like their previous single ‘Mwydryn’.

Their primary inspiration in Beach Boys-style surf-rock but keeping the song in their native language adds an element of interest that make Melin Melyn stand right out from the crowd. It’s bright, summery, and a little bit weird – everything you need. Lead singer Gruff explains the track for anyone who doesn’t speak Welsh:

“Dewin Dwl. It means Silly Wizard. We’ve all met a Silly Wizard in our time, and when they depart, I’ve often wondered, where do they go? This is a tale of legends: of bards debating upon a hill, dancing with skylarks and smoking a big fat pipe in a pub. It’s also the name of a smash hit cartoon from my childhood. Tan y tro nesa! // Until next time!”

Blomonj tracklist:

1. Mwydryn
2. Lucy’s Odyssey
3. Jelly vs Blomonj
4. Little Man
5. Dewin Dwl
6. Rebecca

Melin Melyn will play at Green Man Festival and End Of The Road this summer.
