Chambles
Carys Elen Jones is an 18 year old singer-songwriter originally from London but now living in Carmarthen. Her lyricism and 'kitchen sink angst' intertwined with ideas of the Romantic era have been compared to the rawness of Laura Marling and her soundscapes with the likes of Elbow and Coldplay. This sound is pure and meaningful... a heart being poured out and squeezed until every drop of feeling is absorbed by the listener.
