Gorky's Zygotic Mynci
Ben Thompson, Independent on Sunday, 1995
THE LEAP of faith required to enunciate the unappetising name of this mighty Pembrokeshire quintet plain, pronounceable old Gorky's to their legion of devoted admirers, but in case of emergencies, Mynci rhymes with funky is the first step into a world where just about anything is possible. A world where five Welsh people in their late teens and early early twenties can sing a song about olde-English folk-hippie legend Kevin Ayers and it will become a big hit with teenage girls in Japan. A world in which just when all the best tunes seem to have been written, along comes a band with the key to a secret compartment full of melodies no one has ever heard before.
