The Joy Formidable are to reissue their debut EP in expanded form on October 15th.
This 10th anniversary edition of A Balloon Called Moaning will come with acoustic, Welsh language versions of the tracks on a second disc entitled Y Falŵn Drom as the band look back on a release which laid the foundations for their 2011 debut full length The Big Roar.
“We’ve been through such a lot as a band over the years, it’s been a really reflective studio session, returning to the old recordings and transforming them into these beautiful stripped back, intimate versions,” the band reflect.
“It’s exciting hearing them in the Welsh language because now they have new life too and can be a celebration of language as well as memory.”
