Libertino Records


We are very honoured to be able to bring you an exclusive first listen to the new album self-titled from Welsh indie giants Sock, released through Bubblewrap Collective. Hailing from Cardiff, Sock are adept at infusing their music with a psychedelic hue, filtering tracks with melody and anthems that have a bright and sparkling shimmer. …

We are used to a frenetic hyperactive Bandicoot that romps at a breakneck speed teetering on the brink of a chaotic convulsion, barely restrained and utterly wild. Their new track ‘Early Morning’ completely subverts this trope and shows this is a band with many arrows in their quiver. This is a statuesque and breathtakingly beautiful …

There is always a frisson of heady excitement when Bandicoot are on the prowl. We premiered their demonic video to the track ‘FUZZY’ last year and reviewed a number of mind-blowing tracks that followed, culminating in the news of their debut album ‘Black After Dark’, due out through Libertino Records on 4 March 2022.

There are no brakes on this particular vehicle – a doo-wop singing style infused with a gritty attitude, reverb-soaked vocals and an arched eyebrow or two: stylistic, cool and unhinged. It’s just brilliant. The …

Those champions of the Welsh indie scene Libertino Records bring us yet another gem from ‘Ynys’, the sumptuous ‘Aros am Byth’ (Waiting Forever). The quality, invention and songcraft on show should come as no surprise. ‘Ynys’ revolves around the many talents of Dylan Hughes (ex Race-Horses/Radio Luxembourg) and on ‘Aros am Byth’ you get the …
