Dyma'r pethau rydym yn eu caru: pandas, hufen ia peanut butter, finyl o bob math, cymunedau agored, cefnogory, cynhwysol, gin (rhata'i gyd gorau gyd!), popeth Cymreig, ein hartistiaid ysbrydoledig neu unrhyw un sy'n barod i wneud y byd yn fwy prydferth yn gerddorol. Pedalau corws ... fel petai'n 1985!  Mae gennym ffydd ddiysgog ym mhŵer y gân bop tair munud sy'n gallu newid bywydau!

Wedi gwario dros ddau ddegawd yn archwilio cerddoriaeth o bob math, Fuzz Pop, Bedsit indie, Canu Gwlad, Synth Pop, Gwerin Seicodelig, Ol Pync (ie rwyn dipyn o bioden gerddorol!!) a ffurfio ysbryd cerddorol annibynnol, unigolyddol a rhyddfrydol. Fe ddes i sylweddoli nad y llwyfan oedd f'amgylchedd naturiol ond yn hytrach cynorthwyo artistiaid ifanc, a'u codi i amlygrwydd gan eu galluogi i gyflawni eu breuddwydion cerddorol unigol. Daeth y foment 'Eureka' pan glywais yr artistiaid (i gyd o fewn ychydig wythnosau a'm syfrdanodd) sydd nawr yn galw Libertino yn gartref creadigol iddynt eu hunain .Roedd yn RHAID i'r artistiad yma gael eu clywed gan weddill y byd as roedd yn RHAID i mi weithio gyda nhw. Roedd yn un o'r munudau prin hynny mewn bywyd lle mae'r artistiad, eu cerddoriaeth a'u hestheteg yn cyd-blethu i ffurfio cyfanwaith perffaith i'r gwrandawr. Dyma'r munudau prin hynny dwi'n dymuno'u potelu i bawb sy'n gwrando ar artistiaid Libertino; mae pob cân a ryddheir yn arbennig ac yn ddeiamwnt prin yn y tywyllwch.
Credaf yn gryf y dylsai celfyddyd fod yn gynhwysol gan greu cymuned o'r pridd dan ein traed. Bwriad Libertino yw cynnig llwyfan iddynt er mwyn i'r artistiais hefan yn llwyddiannus, Dewch, ymunwch â ni ar y siwrnai cerddorol hon i'r gorwel agored. Gruff Owen - Libertino

We love in no particular order: Pandas, peanut butter ice cream, all things vinyl, supportive open embrasive communities, gin (cheaper the better!), popeth Cymreig, our very inspiring Artists or anyone who puts themselves out there to make this world a more sonically beautiful  place, Chorus pedals, you know...like it's 1985! They are back in right?! And an unwavering faith in the life changing power of the 3-minute pop song! 
 
'After spending over two decades exploring music from diverse extremes; Fuzz Pop, Bedsit Indie, Country, Synth Pop, Psych Folk, Post Punk (yes bit of a musical magpie here!!!) and honing an individual, independent free musical spirit, I realised that my natural environment was not the stage but rather helping young artists, lifting them up to the limelight, enabling them to achieve their individual musical visions. The "Eureka" moment was hearing the artists (all in the space of a few gloriously head-spinning weeks) who now call Libertino their creative home. These artists NEEDED to be heard by the rest of the world and I NEEDED to work with them. It was one of those rare moments you have in life where the artists, their music and their aesthetic all coalesced into one perfect form for the listener. It's these rare moments that I wish to capture and bottle for everyone listening to a Libertino artist, every release is special, a rare diamond in the dark. 
I strongly believe that art should be inclusive and not exclusive creating a community from grass roots level. Libertino's aim is to give artists a platform from which to fly and how to fly successfully. Come join us on this musical journey to the open horizon. Gruff Owen - Libertino'

" ...the end product never ceases to enchant and surprise – which is all you can ask, really. It is simultaneously gentle and powerful."
'New Band Of The Week' - THE GUARDIAN

"Although it's still only early days in the band's fledgling career, their potential is enormous."
DROWNED IN SOUND

"‘Foresteering’ is already a firm contender for single of the year, it is a piece of pop genius."
A MUSICAL PRIORITY

"Welsh psych rockers appeared at 2pm - and blew away all expectations."
BBC Introducing in West Yorkshire, Leeds Festival

"'PartDepart', a song of hypnotic layers, beautiful sounds and a real sense of space that is sadly lacking in so much modern music."
LISTEN WITH MONGER

"Welsh troupe try out acid-damaged psych on their lo-fi debut"
UNCUT Magazine, April 2017

"Three musicians, one static caravan and a 16-track portastudio. Mix together in the Snowdonian hills and stand back"
SHINDIG! Magazine, Issue 67

"They embrace influences from Super Fury Animals, Django Django and the Beach Boys to name but a few. In doing so, they create an engrossing swirling infusion of psychedelic rock, blues and mildly dancy grooves. Title track ‘PartDepart’, with its bubbling hypnotic layers, beautiful sounds, synth loops, enticing guitar riffs and seductive rhythmic groove, is essentially their raison d’etre"
BARRYGRUFF Music Blog

 "Do yourself a favour and find a peaceful spot to listen and discover this new band. It won’t be long until the Eryri landscape unravels before you."

“One can only arrive at the experience of the transcendental – if it is reached at all – when one is oneself in a position of un-knowing, that is, of humility; namely, while remaining in the world of technê he or she begins to venerate a certain kind of experience, acquires it, makes it one’s own, realizes it, sustains it, repeats it – without burdening its sense, its essence with its own great questions.” - László Krasznahorkai, “The Acropolis in Sunglasses”
