Gulp is the latest musical escapade to float free of the mind of Super Furry Animals bass player Guto Pryce.

The Welsh man has enlisted the vocal talents of bewitching songstress Lindsey Leven to inject some pop sass into their psychedelic sound.

It's a pairing which makes for a dreamy musical combination. Debut album Seasoned Sun is made up from a melting pot of suitably hallucinatory influences with strains of the Wicker Man, nineties video games, Nancy Sinatra and classic electronica all glistening in their songs.

Using a menagerie of battered old analogue equipment, Gulp have spent the past two years writing, recording and piecing the album together in a range of nooks and crannies. Their own basement, several studios in Cardiff Bay and even a friend’s kitchen and a local community centre classroom have provided the backdrop to their musical experiments.

Previous accomplishments have included touring with Django Django and receiving much love for their debut single, Game Love.

Their debut album Seasoned Sun is released via Sonic Cathedral today. Check out the absurdities of their video to new track Vast Space below…
