TRISTWCH Y FENYWOD is a band of three queer women who play avant garde gothic music using dual-zither, bass and electronic drums. Their lyrics are sung entirely in the Welsh language (Cymraeg), and flicker in the moon-glow. Tristwch y Fenywod (translated as… The Sadness of Women) are Gwretsien Ferch Lisbeth (Guttersnipe, Petronn Sphene), Leila Lygad (Hawthonn) and Sidni Sarffwraig (Slaylor Moon, The Courtneys). Formed in 2022 in Leeds, where the band are primarily based, Tristwch y Fenywod sounds like an early 4AD group dredged from the waters of an Anglesey swamp. Sapphic love and desire, existential darkness, political and environmental anguish/celebration, psychogeographic romance, pagan mysticism, imaginal explorations of Celtic history and myth, psychedelia, and myriad other variations of reverie are fantasised through their songs.
In August 2024 they released their self-titled debut album through Night School Records to critical acclaim, and have since performed at various UK festivals such as Supernormal and Supersonic, including two memorable nights with Upset The Rhythm at St Pancras Old Church back in January this year.
