Today, April 13th, Welsh band Melin Melyn share their new single ‘Lucy’s Odyssey’ and announce their signing to Sheffield based independent label Bingo Records, who will be releasing their debut EP ‘Blomonj’ on July 9th.

Lucy’s Odyssey is a driving indie-pop-new-wave amalgam that, just as you think you’ve got your head around it, breaks into a jazzy mid tempo break. It’s this spontaneous nature, and willingness to experiment that have seen Melin Melyn quickly rise as one of the most interesting and vital artists emerging from Wales, and that has seen them picked to play End Of The Road  this year.

“We would be delighted if you would care to join us on our quest to find the magical wonder that is Lucy and to search for the mythical pursuit of so-called happiness. Why sit at home wondering about what could be? Banish the blues, grab the nearest saxophone and bring a change of clothes. Now, which way to the moon,” say the band.

Melin Melyn are the next in a golden generation of exciting, left-of-centre Cymru bands soon to take the rest of the UK by storm. Oozing seventies typography, sun-drenched melody, and surf jangles, this Welsh six-piece are not so much round pegs in square holes as they are determined to throw the whole box out, blurring the line between folk, rock, pop and psychedelia.

Singing in both languages, (as seen on debut single Mwydryn), their weird tales of colourful characters and magical worlds aren’t in fact that far removed from today’s off-kilter reality. It’s eccentricity at its finest & paradoxically most accessible, and that has already seen them played multiple times on BBC Radio 6 Music by Marc Riley & Cerys Matthews.
