Cool, that's the best song on the album.

I read something recently where she said Broadcast are her favourite band. That makes a lot of sense going on her solo work.

Looking forward to this. The single is gorgeous.

I've got the album. It's good; a fair bit slower than her first. I can't hear much of a difference between sung Cornish and Welsh, to be honest with you. Sensing a nice grower.

yeah we just heard a song off this and it's sounding very promising

Man, Gwenno's Le Kov is great. I'm not sure I like it as much as the last one, but it's growing on me the more I return to it!

Rose's third solo album came out on Friday. That's three great albums in a row. Shame she doesn't get the attention she deserves.

i liked "stellular" a lot, i'll have to check this new one

It's a bit more mellow and stripped back that Stellular but equally as gorgeous.

Solo Rose is more Broadcasty, right?

Last album was brilliant yeah; fantastic production too.

The first two albums were quite Broadcasty yeah. She's named them as her favourite band before.

I feel like somehow it would make perfect sense to reform the Pipettes in some capacity given how Gwenno and Rose have each made excellent records on their own that sound surprisingly similar considering how different they are sound from the original Pipettes material.

I most admit though that I find Rose's records a bit anachronistic. Like the would sound great in the turn it the century, not so much now.

Combining modular synth, saxophone, and a medieval lute, Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougall create an album of pastoral disquiet and itchy post-punk edge.

This album is very good. Bit Talk Talk-y at times, kind of a languid Soul feel to others.
