bitw

Bitw is the solo project of reluctant veteran of the Welsh language music scene, Gruff ab Arwel. His off-kilter yet tuneful songs, described as “sci-fi mountain music” by Cate Le Bon, blend warped pop structures with a unique melodic sensibility into something raw, personal, and quietly strange. The white headless guitar he wields onstage belies his gentle lo-fi sensibilities and understated performances. Whether collaborating or working alone, Gruff’s strength lies in his ability to find beauty in imperfection and comfort in discomfort, making music that’s both familiar and subtly otherworldly.
