Following up from the last full length “Metel Du Gwir Cymreig”, Iselder not only announce their signing to label UKEM Records but release details of their upcoming third album simply titled “Cynefin” and also give listeners a preview with first single “Home”
Cynefin means habitat in Welsh, but it also can be used to describe the elements of our situation and personal history that influence our thoughts and decisions in ways we don’t understand.
“Home” is slow and purposeful whilst still maintaining the grittiness of earlier releases, lyrically it’s impossible not to connect on an emotional level as sole member Gofid has an uncanny ability to add a real storytelling dimension to it. People who have been following Iselder for some time will know of the real life events that have taken place and I for one look forward to see how that will manifest itself onto the upcoming album.
The album will be available on CD, as well as Cassette, but there’s also a limited edition box set, with only 10 available!
“Cynefin” will be released February 17th, 2023 but is available to pre-order via UKEM now and I can tell you this is a must for my collection.
