Solas

Description

The First-Ever Double Album in Welsh by Female Artists Adwaith, the dynamic Welsh trio, proudly announce the release of their highly anticipated third album, Solas. Meaning light of being or enlightenment in Old Celtic, Solas marks a significant milestone in both the bands journey and Welsh music history as the first double album in the Welsh language by female artists.

Recorded across diverse locationsincluding the Outer Hebrides in Scotland, Lisbon in Portugal, and multiple studios in WalesSolas reflects Adwaiths growth and evolution as artists. This album completes a trilogy chronicling their transformation from teenagers into empowered women, exploring themes of self-discovery, escape, and resilience.

The ideas began with a load of GarageBand demos from a moment of hyperfixation in November 2022. I would listen to music while working and be inspired to get ideas and melodies down during quiet periods. The idea of recording in different parts of the world is something we wanted to do for Bato Mato, but couldnt. Being in different countries, in different landscapes, with different people, not only inspires stories and lyrics, but it subconsciously inspires the music. I dont think if we went to different studios, we would have ended up with the same album.

Solas finds Adwaith in a very different place from their previous album, Bato Mato. While Bato Mato captured the emotional turmoil and uncertainty of their early twenties, standing physically in the vast emptiness of the Siberian frozen wilderness, Solas emerges from that place of emptiness into one of warmth, connection, and light. Over the past two years, the band has toured across Europe and North America, bringing new experiences and influences that have shaped the fearless, adventurous sound of Solas.
