ABOUT THIS ITEM

Fledgling UK imprint Push & Run maintain their impressive momentum with the official debut from Welsh enigma Ifan Dafydd. Amassing more than his fair share of props, buzz and online hype for a two-track bootleg 12" in August 2011, 'No Good' and 'Miranda' drew heavily from Amy Winehouse and Usher respectively and respectfully.

Stepping out in 2012 with two entirely original productions via Push & Run, ‘Treehouse’ and ‘To Me’ do nothing but cement his already lofty reputation and establish the 23 year old as an immensely exciting prospect for the future. True to form, ‘Treehouse’ and ‘To Me’ are richly textured and blessed with delightfully intricate and sensitively pitch-shifted vocal dubs. Skipping piano motifs, sweeping strings and bold orchestral stabs punctuate Ifan’s effortless chord progressions. Treading a tightrope somewhere between melancholy and optimism, these are bold and bright compositions underpinned by weighty sub low frequencies.
