Take the twisted songwriting from Tunng main man (Sam Genders), the man behind The Memory Band and co-founder of Trunk Records (Stephen Cracknell), one half of Fence Collective duo The Bicycle Thieves (Hannah Caughlin) and singer-songwriter Liam Bailey. Put them in front of a PC and add occasional input from guests including harpist Serafina Steer, Lisa Knapp, and various members of the Elysian Quartet and The Memory Band . Mix them all up and cook on a low heat for around a month or so and you get some beguiling folktronica from new out fit The Accidental. Simply really, and rather yummy too.

The Peth featuring Rhys Ifans and Dafydd Ieuan to play Green Man

Rhys Ifans along with Super Furry Animals drummer Dafydd Ieuan, Dic Ben, Kris Jenkins and Mick Hilton have teamed together to create The Peth who will issue their debut album ‘The Golden Mile’ on September 1st. The Peth will preview the album with the release of a single, and the Green Man will be your only chance to enjoy the band in the full glory of a 3 day festival event.

Ifans was the original vocalist in Super Furry Animals prior to departing the band to focus on his acting career. Formed in 2006 as an excuse for the band members to spend time together in the studio, the album was recorded sporadically over a 2 year period and tells of locations, characters and personal tales in a mile long stretch between the studio and the Grangetown area of Cardiff. According to Ifans everything needed to 'sustain' the recording was available on this stretch of road he dubbed The Golden Mile.
Its raw, rumbunctious nature will make for an electrifying live show.

The Peth will be performing on Sunday 17th August alongside the already confirmed Pentangle,Iron and Wine and The National. Click here for the full line-up.
