Gwenifer Raymond releases first track for Fat Possum
Welsh guitarist Gwenifer Raymond has released a new track, “Bird Songs For Atomic Skies,” her first release for the label Fat Possum.
The Brighton-based musician is known for fingerstyle guitar, and her previous album brought her wider attention.
The song builds into a fast, forceful acoustic performance after a quieter opening.
Raymond describes it as a blues-inspired piece shaped by images of wildlife changed by an atomic age.
She recorded it in Montréal between shows during the summer.
She has said she may perform it on her ongoing tour of the US, Canada, Europe and the UK.
The track is out digitally, with physical copies available for pre-order through Fat Possum.
