Do you like Welsh music?
The Joy Formidable are today announcing the release of a special commemorative ten year double album edition of their acclaimed debut release 'A balloon called Moaning', which made huge waves when it was first released. The double album will include their 2009 EP 'A balloon called Moaning', plus for the first time ever a newly recorded acoustic Welsh language version of the record called 'Y Falŵn Drom'.
Written and recorded in a bedroom over a decade ago by lead singer and guitarist Ritzy Bryan, and bass player and vocalist Rhydian Davies in North Wales, A Balloon Called Moaning was an instant hit. Rated 8/10 by NME, it was the first of the band’s releases to feature their now iconic single Whirring – a track that was named amongst Pitchfork’s Top 100 Tracks of The Year and described as “the song of the year” by Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl.
