CMU Approved
Approved: Griff Lynch
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 18 January 2017
Former Yr Ods frontman Griff Lynch released his debut solo single ‘Hir Oes Dy Wen’, last year, which introduced his DIY pop sound and outlook – its title translating from Welsh as ‘Long Live Your Smile’, he describes the lyrics of his debut as a “cocktail of deaths, breakups and boredom”.
Set for release next month, the follow-up, ‘Don’t Count On My’, is another joyfully miserable slice of rough-around-the-edges pop. “Don’t cry for me”, sings Lynch. “I wouldn’t cry for you, if I had feelings too”. Lovely, really. This is exactly the sort of thing we need in 2017. More please.
