\"\"<\/a>Why is surf music better than almost anything else? Don’t ask me. All I know is it’s like wearing a suit made of catnip, like Leslie\u00a0Nielsen popping round your house, like the buzz of the third beer in good company. Even bad twang is good twang. From Gerlan, North Wales, Y Niwl are more then just retro cryptkickers though: they seem able to plug into surf’s essence, mainlining classic sounds and spewing them endlessly back out, dust free and perfect. Seeing them live is ridiculously fun: like being bummed by every frazzled archive clip and dream of sunshine in your subconscious. Relentless smiles.<\/p>\n

Y Niwl’s superheavyweight vinyl debut is three tracks of instrumental lushness, recorded live and playful. ‘Un’ is the short electric shock, mini fretboard runs like fingers\u00a0up the spine: the main riff’s initial appearance, heavy on the tremolo, could be 2010’s premier rock thrill. ‘Dau’ slows the tempo a few notches, and is initially disappointing for this: a few spins later though, it reveals itself as a nicely ebbing treat, a delicious seven note motif bobbing through the calm. Maximum victory points go to ‘Tri’: crashing guitar parts frame the appearance of a gloriously tinny organ line, one that chats and duels with the guitar, before falling out and smashing back at the end. Four minutes and a load of sections of vitamin D-enriched greatness. Why is this music perfect? I don’t know, but you can dance if you like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
