Ani Glass
Ani Glass is the persona of Cardiff-based electronic pop musician, producer, artist and photographer, Ani Saunders. Fiercely proud of her heritage, Glass sings in her native languages Welsh and Cornish. In 2016 she released her first solo project with the lead single ‘Ffôl’ (Foolish). It was chosen as a single of the week on BBC Radio Cymru and gained momentous play on BBC 6 music. Ani is also known for her work with The Pipetts joining in 2008 to record the Martin Rushent-produced Earth Vs. The Pipetts album.
Ani Glass is back with her new single 'Peirianwaith Perffaith' (Perfect Machinery) underpinned by a tapestry of pulsing and prodding synths, samples and programmed beats bathed in the neon of the city's industrial glow. Her sublime pirouetting vocal refrains infuses a knowing pop universality into the overwhelming experience of life in the city's engine room. Ani says it's about how the "search for identity in a moving city and society insists on a sense of stillness often found in the shadows of progress."
Released as a single in 2016, the industrial electro-pop of 'Y Ddawns' (The Dance) is a rallying call for those seeking inspiration in language and art. Laura Snapes of Pitchfork said it was "a double edged sword that's as stern as it is hopeful; music for the end of the world, and the start of a new one." While BBC Wales Bethan Elfyn named it "Perfect Euro Pop!"
Ani followed this with the release of her debut EP 'Ffrwydrad Tawel' (Silent Explosion) on Recordiau Neb which included six infectious, socially conscious, electronic pop songs. They stand as a document of Ani Glass's artistic evolution invested in grander themes concerning the Welsh language and politics.
Ani releases her new single 'Peirianwaith Perffaith' (Perfect Machinery) on the 26th of October through Recordiau Neb. Electronic pop. Sung in Cymraeg and Cornish. Intense. Transcends language with shimmering inspiration. To find out more about Ani Glass go to:
