Gintis. well…where do you start.

A wonderful Sunday afternoon show at Focus Wales 2016 left us challenging the band to come up with new demos and a (by chance) pub conversation with Bill Ryder Jones in Telfords a week or so later revealed he was up for production and so the seeds were sown. Carl produced a pile of demos from his reserves, funding was secured from the BBC Launchpad Fund and Berj honoured his promise, recording the band in his West Kirby studio.

We’ve known Carl and Dave for years thanks to the Wobbly Hearts (side project) and bumping into each other at By The Sea** shows. The lads from Rhyl have long been embedded in North Walian music history as the brilliant band who made the best sing along shows on the rare occasions they’d play.

Green Man festival described Gintis as :

Gintis are masters of being touchingly nostalgic, yet never cloying. Melodic, country-influenced brass-tinged melanchodelia, sprinkled with scientific rationalism and existential doubt, all wrapped up in breezy, understated three-minute ditties.

Anyhow….the actual record :

Dennis takes the finest parts of Gorky’s, Teenage Fanclub and Pavement and rolls it up into one big wonderful wedge of sing along grandeur. and yes those lyrics do mention Rene Artois from 1980’s BBC sit com Allo Allo.

Oh My Little Malcontent is autobiographical according to Carl. Somewhere between the Boo Radleys, SFA and Grandaddy, the chorus is the catchiest thing we’ve possibly released.

The record has been engineered, mixed and produced by Bill Ryder Jones (Saint Saviour, Hooton Tennis Club, By The Sea), with additional engineering from Joe Edwards (War Room Records).
