简介
Named after the Welsh word for element, Elfen is the seamless blending of three great musicians. Elfen began in 2011 when Stacey Blythe and Helina Rees decided to begin working together to create a personal and joyous expression of Welsh Folk. Two years later the band found the fundament they were looking for in Jordan Price Williams and his double bass. After playing at Lorient Interceltique Festival in 2013 Elfen have appeared at venues across Wales, including St David's Hall Welsh Folk Proms, Wales Millenium Centre and other arts centres as well as many festivals across the UK. Stacey Blythe, Helina Rees, and Jordan Williams create a distinctive and soulful soundtrack for a new folk music in Wales. With the ancient songs and tunes of the Cymry at their heart, Elfen are re imagining the traditional. Familiar old words are reworked into bold and inventive arrangements, with newly written tunes. Woven in alongside traditional music from around the world, Elfen manage to remain firmly in a Welsh sound world. "March Glas is a great debut album for Elfen, not least in being well representative not only of the special interpersonal “connection” that clearly exists between the band members but also of the trio’s high degree of instrumental and vocal inventiveness, which is utilised to present a thoughtful yet brilliantly vibrant soundscape that reveals added nuances on each playthrough. There’s a pervasive sense of joie-de-vivre, a delicious spring to the step and an immediacy of presence." - David Kidman, Folk Roots UK
