0:01:41 > 0:01:43- Is it the top one that you like?- - That's the one that jumped out.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- Is that the one with brass in it?
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- No, I don't think so.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49- Lluchia Dy Fflachlwch Drosda I.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- Lluchia Dy Fflachlwch Drosda I.- - # Sega Segur #
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- The words are quite good - in that as well.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- We wouldn't know.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58- By the end of the day!
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- They're quite easy to sing - for a learner.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- Yeah, "sega segur".
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- We're going to have to do - something different with it though.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- We're going - to have to change the key.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- We'll have to change - the key for you.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Is that the idea? You're singing?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- No, no, no.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- No, no, no.- - It's all open.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- We haven't decided anything.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24- We haven't decided anything.- - We've got all day!
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Everyone's going for Sega Segur. - Is everyone happy?
0:02:28 > 0:02:29- Happy!
0:02:30 > 0:02:31- Great.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- I think we should all try - the chorus.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39- Yeah.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- Are you sure you don't speak Welsh?
0:02:52 > 0:02:53- Are you sure you don't speak Welsh?- - Positive.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- Wow.
0:03:01 > 0:03:06- I'm just thinking... We need - to make sure... What key is it in?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- It's in E.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- Maybe put the drums and bass down.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14- Maybe put the drums and bass down.- - Shall we go in there?
0:03:17 > 0:03:22- Mari, you've met everyone - - the lads from Houdini Dax and Owain.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- How do you think - the day is going to go?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- It's going well. It's cool.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- Houdini Dax have arrived - and they're a ready-made band!
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- We've been going at it, - jamming the song already.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- They've got - their own definitive sound too.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46- Once that's down, we'll be able - to have slightly more fun with it.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- Do you think you can persuade them - to sing a bit?
0:03:50 > 0:03:55- Obviously, they don't speak Welsh. - But it's part of the challenge.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- Yes, I think they're up for it.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- We've sung the chorus a bit already.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- The guys in the band assumed - I was singing. I said "Oh, no!"
0:04:04 > 0:04:09- I'm trying to plant an idea - that everyone will have a verse.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- Maybe we'll split it up.
0:04:12 > 0:04:18- Tennyn, as in a leash on the car - with a bitch in the back.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- Possibly.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21- Possibly.- - Female dog, yeah?
0:04:43 > 0:04:44- Yeah!
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- Cool, good to go? - Here we go, man.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- It's because usually, - you know what you're singing...
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- ..so you just concentrate on your - vocal take instead of the words.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11- Listen to Gruff's take on it.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14- There's no energy - in it at all, anyway.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17- Having a go!
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- Good. Again!
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Is it the same then? What's this?
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- It's these two bars, - the second time it happens.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42- Carry on.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- Jack, you've had a bash - at singing in Welsh today.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51- How has that been?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- How has that been?- - It was an experience.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- Yeah, I did enjoy it. It was good.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57- Was it harder than you thought?
0:05:58 > 0:05:59- Uh, yeah, it was actually.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- I just wanted to get it right - because I don't know what it means.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- I still don't know what it means.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- We don't know what it means, - so it's OK.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- Owain, what do you think? - Has it gone how you expected?
0:06:12 > 0:06:17- We've spent the last hour layering - vocals on top of each other.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- The guys have done amazing things.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- It sounds great and so full. - I've heard so many good things.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- It's crunch time now.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- We've got an hour left - to record that.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- But at the minute, - it sounds great, very full.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45- Everyone happy?
0:06:45 > 0:06:46- Happy!
0:06:47 > 0:06:48- Wonderful!

0:17:00 > 0:17:03- Creating a Y on that scale...
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- Creating a Y on that scale...- - It's a stupid idea.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06- Just the angles.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11- You're here because you've - just released your first album.
0:17:11 > 0:17:17- Iolo, tell us a little about working - on the album for the last 18 months.

0:17:22 > 0:17:26- There are songs we came up with - in the studio.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30- We started recording this album - around two years ago.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31- We then rerecorded it.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- You see songs differently after - listening to them for 18 months!
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- You've lost a lot - of the psychedelic elements...
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- ..and gone for the punk sounds.
0:17:44 > 0:17:50- You've worked on it with members of - Super Furry Animals, Daf and Cian.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51- Is that right?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- More Daf and a little of Chrissy.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- More Daf and a little of Chrissy.- - What was that like?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- It was great, man. - They know what they're doing.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03- They know when you need something - and when you don't.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- It's lovely to record with them.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- It's lovely to record with them.- - Have they influenced the album?
0:18:08 > 0:18:08- Yeah, kind of.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09- Yeah, kind of.- - BVs from Daf.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- It feels like we worked - a lot more with Daf...
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- ..to get the sound - to make sense on the album.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19- He understands the album...
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- ..he understands the record - and he understands us as a band.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- One or two songs, - Lamp in particular...
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- ..wouldn't be out of place - on Fuzzy Logic.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- You can hear the band's influence.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- Was it a privilege - to work with them?
0:18:38 > 0:18:39- Yeah, man.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- Yeah, when I was fifteen - or fourteen...
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- ..I wouldn't have believed this.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- I just wouldn't have believed it.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- Being in a band is cool.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55- Working with people you've admired - since you were a child is so cool.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- Could you talk a little about - the songs you've recorded here?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- A lot of it - is stream of consciousness stuff.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- What's the song about?
0:19:07 > 0:19:12- In terms of the way you write, I've - spoken to you about it before...
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- ..you jot down a lot of words - in your notepad.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- You take it to Billy - and you play around with it.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- Is that what happened - with this album?
0:19:22 > 0:19:26- Basically, we had the songs already.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30- I went to see Daf - to do a few demos with him.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- Iolo came in - and did a few vocals on top.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- We then just created an album - step by step by step.
0:19:37 > 0:19:43- The best ones are the 3.00am - "Oh, yeah, get to the mic." ones.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- I've forgotten to ask this - until now.
0:19:47 > 0:19:52- Where did the connection with those - members of Super Furries come from?
0:19:52 > 0:19:58- Sarah, our manager, picks up her - child from the same bus stop as Daf.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03- That is a great connection. You - couldn't get a better connection.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- As I said, thanks for coming in.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10- Are you alright with taking - these letters or do you need help?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12- Yeah, go on then, why not.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13- I'll take them out.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- It's a bit surreal.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17- It is a bit.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- That's it for this series of Ochr 1.
