THE WOLVES IN THE WALLS

MY LATEST NOVEL PLAY CLWB IFOR BACH, MARCH 23

Fresh from support slots with the Pixies, Arab Strap, and Sufjan Stephens, Scotland’s My Latest Novel call in on Clwb for their first Welsh date in support of new album ‘Wolves’, out March 6 on Bella Union. Tipped as the UK’s answer to the Arcade Fire, this Glaswegian quintet pack four-part harmonies, tricksy tempo changes, and feats of grandiose literary prowess into their intricate chamber-music arrangements.
