Their brand-new single\u00a0<em>YnCanu<\/em> (which translates from Welsh as\u00a0<em>\u201cIs Singing\u201d<\/em>) is out now via the ever-awesome Libertino, and it&#8217;s dripping in spooky psych goodness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hailing from Sheffield and Wales, Sister Wives never shy away from diving deep into folklore and atmosphere\u2014and\u00a0<em>YnCanu<\/em> 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&#8217;s as chilling and cinematic as it sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sung entirely in Welsh by the band&#8217;s own Donna Lee,\u00a0<em>YnCanu<\/em> is a gorgeous, fuzz-soaked fusion of drone pop, psych, and grunge that hits like a foggy coastal breeze\u2014mysterious, heavy, and strangely beautiful. It taps into Welsh folklore, with nods to the White Lady (aka\u00a0<em>Madam Wen<\/em>), a ghost said to haunt the cliffs near Cemaes, endlessly searching for a lost love. The song&#8217;s tension, fragility, and drama come together in a way that\u2019s both otherworldly and deeply human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V0UC-nv9r2M?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The band describes\u00a0<em>YnCanu<\/em> as \u201c<em>a haunting ballad that weaves together the eerie folklore of \u2018Madam Wen,\u2019 a spectral figure forever tied to the rugged cliffs and crashing seas near Cemaes and the imposing Wylfa nuclear power station.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a shiver-inducing reminder that life is fleeting, memory is powerful, and music can conjure spirits\u2014literally and metaphorically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So light a candle, hit play, and let\u00a0<em>YnCanu<\/em> carry you off into the mist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Out now digitally via Libertino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Listen \/ Stream <em>YnCanu<\/em><\/strong>:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/song.link\/gb\/i\/1808479862\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Click here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Band Links:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sisterwivessisterwives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Sister Wives on Facebook<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sisterwivessisterwives\/?hl=en-gb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Instagram<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/sisterwivesmusic.bandcamp.com\/track\/yncanu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Bandcamp<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The always-enchanting Sister Wives are back\u2014and this time, they\u2019re bringing ghost stories with them.
