Fjørds are the most recent newcomers on the Welsh music scene, rising from the green, lush hills of Wales as they present their latest single “Sulwyn.”
The track takes the best dark ’80s electro indie pop as the band fuse influences ranging from Japan to Joy Division and with the recent surge of the ’90s throwback sound—this is a welcomed change. This is the band’s fourth independent release and an exciting time for them as they’ve begun to gain interest with taste makers like BBC 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq.
The darker ’80s sound felt throughout paired with the vocals has a Numan-esque feel. However, Fjørds don’t isolate their audience, the catchy chorus will have you singing along by the end and definitely clicking repeat.
“Sulwyn” is a genuinely interesting single amongst the nonsense on the scene at the moment and one of Wales’ most promising acts—watch out for these guys.
