We are delighted to announce a new UK album tour from 9Bach in April/May/June 2016. These special shows will coincide with the release of their second album on Real World Records. Full details on the forthcoming LP will follow. 9Bach made their name by taking traditional Welsh folk songs and recasting them onto a spectral and haunting sound canvas. Their 2014 album Tincian was the worthy winner of the coveted Best Album in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2015. Tincian is an evocative and emotional hybrid of the folk tradition and contemporary influences. Building on a deepened, almost ambient sound-picture, the songs take you into the landscape of 9Bach's home environment of Gerlan, North Wales and the emotions that evokes. Ethereal female vocals, harp, guitar, electronics, dubby beats, smart arrangements and a pounding rhythm section - 9Bach's songs are captivatingly original, inspirational and emotionally charged. 9Bach are: Lisa Jen (vocals), Martin Hoyland (guitars and percussion), Ali Byworth (drums and percussion), Dan Swain (bass guitar), Esyllt Glyn Jones (harp, vocals), and Mirain Roberts (vocals).
