Music project which has played in Llangollen releases new album

* Isaac Birchall live on stage  in 2024.

A North Wales-based acoustic/folk rock project which has entertained local audiences is launching its latest album next month. 

Cats and Crows, which has played at Llangollen Food Festival and Gales Wine Bar, is releasing This Time Will Pass Anyway on November 27.

Singer/songwriter Isaac Birchall, founder member of the project, says: "It is a record about moving on from loss, and learning to live with, and even love, the hole something can leave behind.

"It's for fans of: Bell X1, Nathaniel Rateliff, Novo Amor, Eddie Vedder, Lord Huron, The Frames."

He added: "It's a nine-song album, written and recorded at home and mastered by Fergal Davis in Dublin. It features Welsh Pipes, the Ruthin town bells from St Peter's Church, and some Welsh spoken word.

"Two singles are being released ahead of it - Mining Time on October 2 and Anyway on October 30."

Isaac Birchall has been a well known singer-songwriter on the North Wales circuit for nearly 20 years.

Having gigged under his own name as a one-man acoustic act for well over a decade, performing mostly covers at the countless wonderful pubs and clubs in the area, he found that his own musical style varied heavily, from hard rock and metal to delicate acoustic and folk.  

This Time Will Pass Anyway features a whole host of friends the project has made over the last few years from all over the world. 

Isaac said: "Words can't describe the pride we feel for this album. We can't wait for you to hear it."
