About This Item
Utopia, Gwenno's fourth solo album, is an extraordinary exploration of her continuously evolving self. If the singer regards her first three solo records 2014's y Dydd Olaf, 2018's Le Kov and 2022's Tresor as Inchchildhood recordsInch, rooted in her upbringing, her parents, her formative identity, then Utopia captures a time of self-determination and experimentation. These are songs of discovery, of the years between being someone's daughter and becoming someone's wife and someone's mother. They range from floor-fillers to piano ballads, via contributions from Cate Le Bon and H. Hawkline, and encompass William Blake, a favorite Edrica Huws poem, and the Number 73 bus. It is her finest work to date. Album Tracks 1. London 1757 2. Dancing on Volcanoes 3. Utopia 4. Y Gath 5. War 6. 73 7. The Devil 8. Ghost of You 9. St Ives New School 10. Hireth
