GULP: Super Furry Animal's Guto Pryce & Lindsey Leven share new single "Morning Velvet Sky"!

Psych-synth sounds from Cardiff-based band Gulp. FFO Ladytron, Goldfrapp, Jane Weaver etc.

Cardiff-based band Gulp, made up of Guto Pryce (Super Furry Animals) & Lindsey Leven are back and sharing new single "Morning Velvet Sky". Mixed by Luke Abbott, the track is taken from their new album, which is coming out in early 2018 with more details to be announced soon.

In the words of the band ""Morning Velvet Sky is a song about dawn, with arpeggiating machines. The intent of Morning Velvet Sky is to wrap the listener in a blanket of the fuzzy feeling created by waking up on a warm dewy morning and having appreciation for the beauty in nature when things may not be perfect."

After touring across the UK this summer with festival shows at FOCUS Wales, Sea Change, Festival No. 6, End Of The Road, Kendal Calling, Liverpool Sound City and more, "Morning Velvet Sky" is the latest instalment of Gulp's luscious psych-pop sounds and a hit of what to expect from their next full-length next year. The single is available now digitally and on 1st December on 12” Vinyl via E.L.K. records.

Originally from Scotland, vocalist Lindsey moved to Cardiff to where she met Guto Pryce at a Christmas psych party– a joining of kindred spirits in a city with an ever-evolving arts scene. It was there that the foundations of Gulp came to be as the two joined forces to create this musical venture; the band name coming from a play on words of combining both of their initials.

Gulp make warm, fuzzy, luscious pop by combining ethereal sounds of both acoustic and electric drums and synths. Their music is like a road trip; the landscape and events along the way, filmic scenes and melodies – from the sun-squinting, flickering saturation and lens flare of the Californian desert, to the gloamin of rural Scottish and Welsh homescapes. The pair are joined by permanent member Gid Goundrey on guitar and various friends on drums including Stuart Kidd (Euros Child/Norman Blake), Kliph Scurlock (Flaming Lips/ Gruff Rhys), Gwion Lleweyln (Meilyr Jones), Dave Newington (Boy Azooga) & others.
