Cerys Matthews chats to I Like Music
Cerys Matthews is back with her second solo album, Never Said Goodbye, the follow up to her debut solo album, the marvellous Cockahoop. This brilliant new album is preceded by the release of an equally gorgeous single - Open Roads - on August 7th. Meanwhile, Cerys is currently touring the UK for the first time in three years and is having the time of her life. Previously vocalist for Catatonia, one of the most successful bands to have ever emerged from Wales, Cerys now lives in Nashville with her husband and two young children.
I Like Music caught up with Cerys prior to her performance at London's Scala to chat about writing songs with Superfurry Gruff Rhys, Nashville nuances and why she's feeling happier [and sounding better] than ever.
"I like music because… it's like getting on a camel and travelling through a desert trying to find an oasis, it certainly has a mind of its own."

ILM: We last saw you live at Net Aid back in 1999. How was it playing Wembley Stadium and doing something to make a difference in the world?

Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.
