This first song, Dancing on Volcanoes is from Gwenno's 4th solo album, Utopia, coming out in July. It's the first album she's made that's mostly in English and she describes the song as "The need to dance as a cathartic art". The song has a lovely Smiths feel to it with the jangly guitar line.
To pair with this I've chosen Assembly by London based duo Elephant. It's taken from their debut album Sky Swimming and sadly was the only album they ever made as the band broke up shortly afterwards. It's a shame as Sky Swimming is full of wonderful, dreamy, synth pop songs and well worth checking out.
