The always-enchanting Sister Wives are back—and this time, they’re bringing ghost stories with them. Their brand-new single YnCanu (which translates from Welsh as “Is Singing”) is out now via the ever-awesome Libertino, and it’s dripping in spooky psych goodness.
Hailing from Sheffield and Wales, Sister Wives never shy away from diving deep into folklore and atmosphere—and YnCanu might be their eeriest offering yet. The track draws from the haunted whispers surrounding Wylfa Power Station in Anglesey. Legend has it the ghost of Rosina, a New Zealand opera singer, roams the site, her mournful melodies still echoing through the halls. Yes, it’s as chilling and cinematic as it sounds.
Sung entirely in Welsh by the band’s own Donna Lee, YnCanu is a gorgeous, fuzz-soaked fusion of drone pop, psych, and grunge that hits like a foggy coastal breeze—mysterious, heavy, and strangely beautiful. It taps into Welsh folklore, with nods to the White Lady (aka Madam Wen), a ghost said to haunt the cliffs near Cemaes, endlessly searching for a lost love. The song’s tension, fragility, and drama come together in a way that’s both otherworldly and deeply human.
The band describes YnCanu as “a haunting ballad that weaves together the eerie folklore of ‘Madam Wen,’ a spectral figure forever tied to the rugged cliffs and crashing seas near Cemaes and the imposing Wylfa nuclear power station.”
It’s a shiver-inducing reminder that life is fleeting, memory is powerful, and music can conjure spirits—literally and metaphorically.
So light a candle, hit play, and let YnCanu carry you off into the mist.
Out now digitally via Libertino.
