More Buzz fun, this time for Cotton Wolf, a duo from my hometown. I should do more local music on here... or take the Cardiff bit out of my bio really. Anyway I did do a Buzz review for September's issue too but thought it was so gash I didn't share here (the music and the review - it was Frankie Cosmos by the way). Utter balls.
But back to this month's review...

COTTON WOLF
Ofni (Bubblewrap Collective)
****
Cardiff duo Cotton Wolf follow up their Welsh Music Prize debut Life in Analogue with Ofni or “Fear” yn Gymraeg. It’s an apt title for an album of pensive, precision electronic music. While mostly instrumental, the standout track is the title track, with Adwaith’s Hollie Singer adding sweet vocals to Cotton Wolf’s dark, driven sound.
The glacial Winter Fields is also worth seeking out. A solid sophomore that should also make the WMP shortlist. File next to Moderat and Rival Consoles. SE

And it turns out S4C used Ofni for the Azerbaijan and Belarus games. Lovely stuff.
Ofni is out October 4th 2019 and you can pre-order a red vinyl version limited to 100 copies now if that's your bag.
