Our latest Howlin’ mix comes from Kiernan Abbott, the mind behind Fragments in Wax ( ), with a superb mix. Link in bio.
Kiernan Abbott is a Welsh collector based in London and the mind behind Fragments in Wax, an archive-led project dedicated to uncovering and sharing overlooked music. While his digging spans the globe, he has a particular focus on music sung in his native Welsh.
Notes on the mix:
“It’s been over a year since I put together a mix that wasn’t guided by a specific style, tempo, or framework. This time, I wanted to follow instinct, choosing tracks that genuinely move me rather than building something around obscurity for its own sake.
The mix brings together artists who never took themselves too seriously, who were more interested in storytelling than commercial success. That kind of authenticity is what draws me in: people trying to say something different, or approaching things from a new angle.
There’s a real variety across the selections, but I wanted it to remain accessible, leaning into lighter sounds shaped by the locality of the ’70s, the attitude of the ’80s, and the experimental edge of the ’90s.”
