ANELOG
One of the most fascinating new bands in Wales is Denbigh’s Anelog. Their music isn’t at all easy to pigeonhole, sweeping from the Hot Chip, electro disco of ‘Retro Party’, to the lush analogue synth textures, folkish melodies and captivating harmonies of ’Siabod’. A song named after an imposing needle of a mountain in Snowdonia.

Introducing/ Yn Cyflwyno... ANELOG
Getting to know the Horizons artists for 2016. Yn cyflwyno artistiaid Gorwelion 2016.
Siabod is simultaneously tripped out and quietly awe-inducing. It’s also admirable demonstration of how much the geography of Wales - and particularly the rolling, hilly beauty of Denbighshire - has infused their music.
They sound a little like Air might have sounded if they’d grown up around Denbigh instead of Paris; the Â鶹ԼÅÄ’s Radiophonic Workshop if it had been built in Pentrefoelas, and / or an M83 for the mysterious, haunted moors that join northeast Wales to Snowdonia.
Anelog have been played and enthused about on Radio 1, 6Music, Â鶹ԼÅÄ Radio Wales and C2.
Their name is inspired, not by their predilection for vintage synthesisers, but by the village of the same name on the Llyn Peninsula.
