Description
Mae’r record fer yn dilyn trywydd tebyg i’r albwm, gyda byd natur, hunaniaeth ddiwylliannol a sylwebaeth gymdeithasol yn ymddangos yn themâu blaengar. Mae’r trac agoriadol yn dychmygu taith gwyfyn ar noswaith dwym o haf, tra bod ‘Briwsion’ yn beirniadu anghyfiawnder cymdeithasol yn y byd modern. Ceir hefyd cyfieithiad Gymraeg o’r gan boblogaidd ‘The Fisherman’, a fersiwn newydd sbon o’r alaw draddodiadol ‘Cariad Cyntaf’. Mae’r record fer yn cau gyda ‘Golwg y Gwdihŵ’, trefniant cerddorol sy’n cynrychioli golygfa o goedwig gyda’r nos recordiwyd yn wreiddiol fel rhan o brosiect ar gyfer Amgueddfa Cymru.
Mae’r record fer wedi dal perfformiadau arbennig gan rhai o gerddorion gorau Cymru, gan gynnwys y drymiwr Jack Egglestone, Callum Duggan ar y bas dwbl a llais hyfryd Georgia Ruth. Ceir hefyd trefniannau llinynnol arbennig Seb Goldfinch wedi eu perfformio gan bedwarawd llinynnol y Mavron Quartet.

In keeping with the ‘Ruins/Adfeilion’ album, themes of the natural world, cultural identity and social justice feature prominently in ‘Y Gwyfyn’ EP. The title track describes a hot summer evening as perceived through the senses of a moth, whilst ‘Briwsion‘ (Crumbs) is a critique of social inequality in today’s modern world.Fan favourite track ‘The Fisherman’ (Y Pysgotwr) is reworked into the Welsh language, followed by a brand new recording of traditional Welsh folk song ‘Cariad Cyntaf‘ (First Love). The EP ends with an epic 8 minute instrumental, ‘Golwg y Gwdihw‘ (An Owl’s Eye View), a musical representation of a nocturnal woodland scene originally recorded as part of a project for National Museum Wales.
The EP features some of the finest musicians in Wales, including Jack Egglestone on drums, Callum Duggan on bass and Georgia Ruth on vocals. The EP also gives a platform to the stunning string arrangements of Cardiff-based composer Seb Goldfinch, performed beautifully by the Mavron Quartet.
