Tornen a Mallorca molts anys després de la seva participació al Waiting for Waits (edició 2004)
Welsh dark folk-pop trio Songdog return to Palma on Friday 22 December 2023. The current
lineup is songwriter and singer Lyndon Morgans, together with fellow Songdog regular Karl 'Pod'
Woodward (who provides the distinctive keyboard sound that weaves through the latest album and
also designed the cover art) plus new violinist Bethan Frieze.
‘Of Gods And Men' is the first album from Welsh songwriter Lyndon Morgans to be released under
his own name, having put out his previous 8 albums under the ‘Songdog' identity. Over the course
of the record’s 15 tracks, Lyndon continues his exploration of his favourite themes - the passing of
time, lost love, sex, death, ageing and psychic overload.
Previous albums as ‘Songdog’ include 2020’s ‘A Happy Ending, ‘Joy Street’, 'Last Orders at
Harry's Bar’, ‘A Life Eroding’, ‘A Wretched Sinner's Song’, ‘The Time Of Summer Lightning’, ‘Haiku’
and ‘The Way Of The World’ and were released to great reviews from the likes of Uncut, Mojo, The
Mirror, Maverick, RnR and Americana UK amongst others. Lyndon's tracks have been featured on
BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6Music plus other regional and international shows, he has recorded a
session for Tom Robinson's show and had his music praised by the likes of Bruce Springsteen and
Robert Wyatt.
What they’ve said about the music:
“Lo-fi and alluring, like a heady mix of Eels and Lambchop. A fully qualified peer of such droll, selfdeprecating Americans as Kurt Wagner, Stephin Merritt and Mark Everett." UNCUT 8/10 (Andrew
Mueller)
“Soaring, Mellotron-inflected arrangements enhance Morgans’ acutely observed lyrics.” MOJO 3*
(John Aizlewood)
“Morgans’ songs are a musical version of Diane Arbus’ photographs. They create stark word
snapshots and capture moments in a life of music, love, mistake, and regret. You only write these
songs if you paid attention while living.” AMERICANA UK 8/10 (Michael Macy)
“If he were a Wainwright, he’d be Loudon III, not Rufus ....I’d give a body part to write poetry like
this.” RnR 5* (Andrew Darlington)
“He has a brilliant way of investing despair and dysfunction with romance. Stellar stuff indeed.”
FATEA (Mike Davies)
"Bejewelled lyrics of wit, woe & wonder" 4*** MIRROR (Gavin Martin)
"Terrific stuff!" Robert Wyatt
“Intense & sensual collection of baroque, last chance lives...supremely evocative imagery that
lesser poets can only aspire to” Maverick
