Trwbador are a boy/girl duo fromCarmarthenshire in South Wales featuring the exceptional talents of half Welsh,half Dutch singer and producer Angharad Van Rijswijk alongside the intricateguitar playing and hip hop style productions of Owain Gwilym. Operatingfrom the attic of a flat they share in rural Carmarthenshire, they write downand record all of their sounds, making music like no one else. You canfind out more at www.trwbador.co.uk or www.owletmusic.com .
Angharad’s beautiful and fragilevoice underpinned with Owain’s intricate acoustic guitar fingerpickingwas showcased through 2 EPs they recorded in 2011. This quickly garneredsupport from the likes of radio DJs, Huw Stephens, Adam Walton, Bethan Elfyn, Radcliffeand Maconie and Lauren Laverne. Their talent and beauty has not goneunoticed among fellow musicians either. Plaudits have come in thick andfast from artists such as James Dean Bradfield, Euros Childs, Laura J Martinand Cornershop leading to a string of collaborations including the Christmassingle by Cornershop ‘Every Year So Different’, which features Angharad on leadvocals.
This is the duos first album andtheir best work to date. These 10 songs showcase the duo’s ability tosoak in influences from everywhere and use them to full effect. There arereferences here to traditional folk, avant garde, 80s Pop, rave, hip hop andmany more. The fact that these elements are combined in such aself-aware and fun way make the album a treat of a journey with many twists. The sound is characterised by off-kilter electronica, jumpy cut edits, deep andwarm analogue synthesizers, the intricate nuances of acoustic guitar and ofcourse Angharads sweet and dreamy vocal croon, which she uses to full effectthrough looping, counterpoint and a host of subtle effects. Through slowtempo changes, time signature shifts, through structures and improvisationsections Trwbador add interest to stagnant pop song structures. This hasled to their sound being described as ‘Avant Pop’. The album containsmany colaborations, most notably Cornershop who provide the sitar and tambourato Sun In The Winter, which in a previous demo form has been the ‘MPFree’ onthe BBC 6 Music Lauren Laverne Breakfast Show.
Trwbador are spending February inMumbai as part of a British Council exchange, where they will perform at amajor festival as well as a number of more lo key events. After this theywill play 4 dates at the start of March in London, Cardiff, Liverpool andLeicester to celebrate the albums release.
