Their debut album ‘Hebron’ is a wonderfully-produced affair, replete with evangelical pianos, emotive Hammond organ, yearning voices, and weeping electric guitars. They’ve managed to transplant the musical heart of America – The Band, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Grizzly Bear – to their spiritual home in Pontypridd without missing a beat.
