I know what you're all thinking if you don't live in Wales.
Who the hell is Don Leisure?
Don Leisure is the winner of the 2025 Welsh Music Prize, for his album Tyrchu Sain. In English, the title literally means "sound tunnelling" and that's what he's doing - building beautiful tunnels of sound and burrowing into them - laying acoustic guitars and folk sounds with electronics and modern music.
This song - which translates to "light a fire" - is a highlight of the album for me. Leisure is joined by longtime Pretender Carwun Ellis on this one, as well as a couple of samples you are certain to recognize if you are huge Welsh music fans (I didn't know them).
