Heddlu is the project of Rhodri Daniel, previously a founding member of alternative rock act Estrons who gained traction for their fuzz-drenched temper traps. Buzz reviewed their debut single in this column, and now third Heddlu single Auto-Da-Fé (meaning ‘Act of Faith’ in Spanish) is the latest in a string of tracks that the Ceredigion native has created as a reaction to his hearing recovery. After touring the live circuit excessively, Rhodri was diagnosed with hearing loss, tinnitus and severe sensitivity to noise meaning his consumption of music suddenly looked very different.
The explosive single, released through Zawn Records, conveys how we continually put ourselves on trial for past mistakes. And we’ve been given an exclusive look at the music video by Heddlu for Auto-Da-Fé! Directed by Craig ‘Trashman’ Shankland & Declan Young, you can view it below.
Cantref, Heddlu’s 11-song debut album, is also out today and can be streamed below.
