Blodau Gwylltion - Llifo Fel Oed

Llifo Fel Oed (Flows Like Age) is the first album by Blodau Gwylltion, the two piece band from Wales. Its members, Manon Steffan Ros and Elwyn Williams, recorded these songs over a period of a few years, and the intimate, low-fi sound was important to them when recording, giving the impression of a live performance. The band combines folk and country influences, and all songs are written by Manon, with the exception of Ddoi Di Dei, which is a traditional folk song that was sung to Manon by her mother. Themes include the trickle of time, and there are many songs that feature water- the sea, lakes and rivers of Wales. The album title- Llifo Fel Oed, or Flows Like Age- comes from the final track, Plant Bach. It's a song about how our children grow and the older generation dies, but nothing really dies- we are all part of a bigger circle. We become our forefathers, and love and the land and the seas all flow like age.
