Folk trio Plu release atmospheric long-awaited album
Their album 'Tri', is released on April 29th, 2022. This is the first collection of new and original music from the Caernarfonshire sibling trio since the ethereal 'Tir a Golau' in 2015.
Over two years, the collection was recorded at Stiwdio Sain, Llandwrog, with producer Aled Wyn Hughes (of Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog). Thanks to the Eos grant fund, musicians Carwyn Williams, Dafydd Owain and Edwin Humphreys add broader instrumentation to Plu's acoustic sound. The album has an atmospheric mix of folk, Americana and pop tunes, all featuring the complex harmonies associated with Plu's vocals.
'Tri' was shortlisted for the Welsh Language Album of the Year 2022.
