Adwaith detail their third studio album, Solas
Two-time Welsh Music Prize-winning trio Adwaith have announced their forthcoming third album, Solas.
The trilogy began in 2018 with the Welsh Music Prize-winning album Melyn, followed by 2022’s Welsh Music Prize-winning Bato Mato, which took the band on a literal and figurative journey far from home. After travelling across Siberia on the Trans-Siberian Railway for Bato Mato, Adwaith found themselves reflecting on home even in the unfamiliar landscapes they encountered.
Now, Solas offers an exploration of self-discovery and grounding. “It’s about finding that home, and that safe space, within yourself,” shares Hollie Singer, “and rediscovering what makes your inner child happy.”
This milestone project solidifies their uncompromising creative vision, weaving Cymraeg into their music as a vital instrument that resonates on an instinctive level. “The use of Cymraeg throughout Solas feels natural, truthful, and necessary,” shares Gwenllian Anthony. “We wanted listeners to feel something instinctive and emotional in the music, whether or not they understood every word. Just as much as the lyrics tell a story, the musicality itself is a way of speaking, one that we hope resonates on a deeply emotional level.”
With Solas, Adwaith become the first female Welsh-language band to release a double album, embodying the fearlessness and clarity that has always driven them. “I feel like we’re confident in ourselves as musicians, and our sound, and the world that we want to create,” says Hollie Singer. “We feel fully realised.”
Solas is set for release on 7 February via Libertino Records.
