Adwaith’s latest single ‘Addo’ is a brilliant showcase of the band’s evolution and their ability to blend nostalgic influences with contemporary flair. Returning to the roots of their musical journey, Adwaith has skillfully crate-dug into their formative inspirations, drawing on the raw and emotive sounds of artists like Juliana Hatfield and Hole. The song’s genesis in the intimate setting of a bedroom jam session between Hollie Singer and Gwenllian Anthony is palpable in its organic feel and authentic energy.
As the first glimpse into their upcoming third album, ‘Addo’ sets a high bar. Recorded at the remote Black Bay Studios in the Outer Hebrides, the track carries an air of serene isolation that adds depth to its sound. The decision to collaborate with James Dean Bradfield of the Manic Street Preachers is a stroke of genius, lending a layer of seasoned guitar craftsmanship that complements the band’s youthful vibrancy.
‘Addo’ is more than just a song; it’s a statement of artistic maturity and a promise of exciting things to come from Adwaith. The track is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the fusion of classic alternative influences with a fresh, dynamic approach to songwriting and production.
