Combining cute indie pop-rock and old children’s television show music, Mr Huw’s latest EP seems to embody the soul of happy kitschness! Retro electro sounds make this twangly guitar based release really very reminiscent of the childhood of anyone who may have been around in the seventies or eighties; though somehow manages to avoid sickeningly sentimental twee-dom. Indeed, it seems to effortlessly reach a pretty and melodic plateau that keeps your foot tapping and leaves you with the delicious after-taste of nostalgia in your ears. Welsh and English language lyrics, pretty and effective harmonies to catchy song structures and almost lo-fi production keep it simple and mellow. Makes one want to see it all performed live, special stuff indeed. JA
