"Kick The Sand" 2007 - Click Here for 2007 Hot Press Magazine Ireland Review
Kick the Sand is Lowri's first English Lanuguage Album, on the back of the success of Clyw Sibrydion Lowri's last release on the Fflach's RASP label they decided to follow it up with an English Language album. Originally the idea was to release an English version of Clyw Sibrydion some songs got lost in translation, and the fact Lowri had written a bunch of new English songs meant that only 4 tracks survived onto the new album. Lowri has included an acoustic arrangement of U2's "With or Without You" recorded live in the studio with Lee on guitar and Nerys Richards playing cello as well as 10 original songs.
Once again the album is co-produced by Lee Mason (acoustic, electric and bass guitar), Wyn Jones and Lowri (Vocals, acoustic guitar and piano). Guest musicians on the album include:
Arran Amhun: Drums and Percussion
Wyn Jones: Yard Brush
Nerys Richards: Cello
Andy "Wal" Coughlan: Double Bass and Bass Guitar
Dafydd Jones: Drums
Karolyn Fear: Piano and Hammond
Melt Kingston: Bass Guitar
Henry Sears: Violin
Emma Brydon: Cello
Paul Mallet: Lap Steel
Wyn Lewis Jones: Hammond and Yard Brush
