In the wake of the Super Furry Animals' acclaimed release Rings Around the World (nominated for Britain's famed Mercury Music Award), the pastoral nation of Wales prepares to present an offering from yet another prodigious band of native sons-- this time, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci (pronounced "Mun-key," translation, well... "monkey"). The Gorkys will proudly blow on a conch and unfurl How I Long to Feel That Summer in My Heart on September 24th through Mantra/Beggars Banquet. The album is the first to feature new drummer Pete Richardson, and follows the folk-heavy acoustic EP The Blue Trees, released in the States this past February.

n To prime die-hards for the long-player, a single, "Stood on Gold," will be released September 3rd. The track will be the first in the Gorky's canon to feature lead vocals by original member and bassist Richard James, who will also play the role of frontman for two of the album's other songs, "Easy Love" and "These Winds Are in My Heart." All three of these songs are James originals. The rest of the album was written by Euros Childs' and features his glorious croon, with the exception of "Cân Megan," written and sung by Euros' sibling Megan. Tracklist:
