Tacsidermi - ‘Ble Pierre’ (Libertino)

Tacsidermi release stunning debut ‘Gwir’ on Libertino Records

This year has been a difficult one for most but it certainly has not stopped the outpour of creativity in the industry, and it definitely didn’t hold back the newly founded Welsh duo ‘Tacsidermi’. During the lockdown the pair joined forces, forming their very own bubble at a studio in the heart of Carmarthenshire, and recorded what would be an ambitious but one of the year's most exciting debut singles.

Made up of Adwaith’s Gwenllian Anthony and Matthew Kilgariff, the duo have released the track with welsh record label Libertino. ‘Gwir’ - translated as true, or truth, in English - is an atmospheric exploration of almost chilling psychedelic tones, hypnotising melodies made up of compelling hooks and captivating vocals that put us under the spell of Tacsidermi’s experimental sound. With a sprinkling of pop and determination to keep their native tongue alive with their use of welsh language, the pair have developed and released something bold, something fresh. It’s a riveting debut single and we’re hoping there’s more on the table for 2021!

Gwenllian Anthony from the ‘Welsh Music Prize’ winning band Adwaith has been jamming and writing on and off over the last few years with Matthew Kilgariff. Matthew toured as a session musician with Adwaith during their post ‘Melin’ tours. It took lockdown for them to decide to form a bubble and move into Matthew’s studio in rural Carmarthenshire and start recording. ‘Gwir’ their debut single is a perfect marriage of both of their influences. With its 90s baggy grove and Flaming Lips twisted popness this is a bold first statement. The Brian Jonestown Massacre psychedelic textures, dancing along to a low-slung Breeders inspired driving bass brings a darkness to the song. It mirrors the uncertainty and emotional vulnerability of the lyrics and Gwenllian’s beautiful restrained delivery.

‘Gwir’ was supported by David Newington (Boy Azooga) on drums and mixed by Matthew Evans (KEYS)

Expect new Tacsidermi material to follow quickly in early 2021. 

You can hear ‘Gwir’ on all major streaming platforms now.
