ABOUT THIS BAND

Papur Wal have always been enticingly unique. They combine fearless slacker influences with infectious power pop melodies into a beautifully raw musical mosaic. One part early Beatles, the other Lou Reed at his most power chord thrashing intensity. What ties their songs together under the harmonies and fuzz is an unflinching desire to wear their hearts proudly on their sleeves.

The band have been dubbed 'ELO in a car accident with Slint' by Louder Than War, and 'What Dinosaur Jr rehearsing next to the Beach Boys would sound like' by Adam Walton of BBC Radio Wales, and lauded by BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6 Music started the journey towards forthcoming album Amser Mynd Adra at the beginning of 2020. The release of the singles Meddwl am Hi and Piper Malibu in quick succession re-introduced Papur Wal as purveyors of perfectly crafted three-minute, golden pop. With the trusted support of their long-time producer Kris Jenkins (Super Furry Animals, Cate Le Bon, H Hawkline) on the desk Papur Wal have crafted an emotive coming of age forthcoming debut album. Amser Mynd Adra ('Time To Go Home') discusses maturing into the seemingly bleaker period of mid-20s adult life, away from the carefree abundance of young adulthood.
