Welsh Language Post-Hardcore Band Breichiau Hir Reveal Title Track From Upcoming Debut Album “Hir Oes I’r Cof”

Cardiff-based post-hardcore six-piece Breichiau Hir are delighted to announce the news that their debut album, Hir Oes I’r Cof, will be released on the 19th November via Welsh language alternative label Libertino Records. The band blend cathartic intensity, dense layers of guitar, and fragile melancholic moments, Breichiau Hir‘s sole mission is to move and connect to their audience. Bursting with melody, fragility and aggression, the sextet often jump from fierce energy to delicate passages to crashing waves of noise. The band have now revealed the video for the album’s title track and lead single.

“Hir Oes I’r Cof loosely translates to long live memory. The title was something I heard (or possibly misheard) from an elderly man giving a speech about where I grew up. The song is about the addictive nature of looking back, the comfort and escapism you get from nostalgia, juggled with the infinite sadness that you can never truly relive past memories, and the more you replay your memories the more they reshape and reform.” (front man Steffan Daf)
