FJORDS - Cardiff’s finest purveyors of Indie-Electronica release the much anticipated new track ‘Polymath’ on 1st March 2014 via Crookedman Records.  Recorded at the world famous Monnow Valley studios FJORD’s third release builds on the sonic ambition of previous singles Domino and Russian Doll. ‘Polymath’ showcases an icy sonic template reminiscent of Movement era New Order & Bowie’s Low, coupled with angular guitar riffs that recall the finesse of A Certain Ratio, Franz Ferdinand & Arcade Fire.

FJORDS are Sonny Dagur - Vocals & guitar, Alex Mann - Bass & vocals, Scott Bradburn - Guitar, Gareth Bodman - Synths, Hannah Mathias - drums & drum pads.

FJORDS announce June 15th for the release date of their new single “HALO” and EP “UNDER THE MOUNTAIN”.
 
This is the second track from a series of songs recorded with producer Gavin Monaghan (The Editors, Paolo Nutini, and Robert Plant) and this is part of 4 tracks which feature on the self-titled EP “FJORDS”. The band were able to fund this EP after being awarded the Emerging Excellence award by Help Musicians UK.
 
The EP hints at an impressive new direction for FJORDS this year, reminiscent of the art punk of Talking Heads and Talk Talk and worldly beats of modern bands such as Future Islands, Foals and Bombay Bicycle club. Stepping up a whole new gear, this is their most realised release to date and an exciting sign for what 2015 has in store.
