Yr Ods

Yr Ods – The band responsible for immeasurably catchy songs, and masters of fusing sharp indie sounds with more vintage 80’s synth.

The melodic pop 5-piece released their double-A-side 7” single ‘Ble’r Aeth yr Haul’ (‘Where did the sun go’) / ‘Hiroes i’r Drefn’ (‘Long live the order’) in October, 2015.

Recorded in the legendary Funkhaus Studios in Eastern Berlin, Yr Ods turned towards a darker, more abstract sound than their previous work, holding on to the sense of energetic melody which is an obvious stamp throughout their back-catalogue.

‘Ble’r Aeth yr Haul’ and ‘Hiroes i’r Drefn’ ponder upon the frustration and political stagnation that exists in 21st century Wales and question whether situations of present and future, along with a repetition of the past, will ever inspire a calling for change to an order that proceeds to take hold on the lives of so many, seemingly with no conscience.

Yr Ods released yet another dark-pop single as part of the Ikaching V compilation; ‘Tonfedd Araf’ (‘Slow Wave’).

In 2019, it became apparent that the band were collaborating with author Llwyd Owen. The release of new material from the band will coincide with the release of new material from the author; read more here.
