A beautiful, gentle, characteristically quirky and catchy new indie-pop single by the Welsh singer-songwriter, “an attempted pocket symphony about the cosmic lengths that people will travel in the pursuit of love and acceptance”. It is taken from his forthcoming Sadness Sets Me Free out on 24 January 2024 via Rough Trade one that will be his 25th album including solo works, soundtracks, and fronting Super Furry Animals and Neon Neon.

I said
‘I’m a barista’
She heard
‘Barrister’
Misunderstanding my
Baritone stammer that
Tricky to understand
Led to the overland
Ticket right in my hand, took it
And left down the stream
To investigate all domesticated
Couples who
Misunderstand
All the intricate
And the outricated concepts
Of
Love as the final destiny
Chasing it like a park ranger
Shoot for
Celestial candy floss
Licking it like there’s no danger
Destiny
Cyclical symmetry
Upturn the commentary
Turn to familiar simile
Destiny
Hemorrhage the Muscovy
Off shore the family
In anonymity
Pack-up and
Flee through the snow
To escape the wrath of the
Continental covenant
Poised, shrewd and primed
To convert the bonds of the military
Mighty for
Love as the final destiny
Chasing it like a park ranger
Shoot for celestial candy floss
Licking it like there’s no danger
Call from the wilds of the barren lands
On the slopes of the volcano as
Old Marmalade
Drips
From
Mantelpiece
Down
The
Corrugated
Edges
Of
Love as the final destiny
Lifting it like a pall bearer
Shoot for celestial candy-floss
Licking like there’s no danger
Love as the final destiny
Legging it like a park ranger
Hark! For celestial candyfloss and fall asleep like there’s no danger
