Welsh indie oddballs Gorky's Zygotic Mynci have confirmed their disbanding on their official website.

A statement on the site reads:

"Gorky's Zygotic Mynci have decided to call it a day and split up. Richard, Megan, Euros and Pete would like to thank everyone who came to the gigs and bought the records over the years. The re-issues of the first three Gorky's albums - Patio, Tatay, and Bwyd Time - will go ahead as planned and will be released before late 2006."

Together since 1991, Gorky's formed while Childs was just 15. Since then no fewer than nine studio albums have been recorded, and a singles compilation was released in 2003.

They were the best band in Britain, no one wrote melodies as beautiful. Have been and always will be my favourite band.

Props to them homiez,

it's sad that they're calling it a day but they're one of those bands whose influence will loom large forever. Which means that even though they were never massive stars, they still WON. Hail Gorky's! Hurrah!

...

Anyone heard seven sleepers den by Richard James? I havn't at all but have an inkling i'll love it, partly due to the title and shared name with mr Aphex, but mainly beacuse it sounds like the kind of record I'd expect to be half in 67 and a quarter in 98.

I remember seeing Gorky's at Leeds Festival sometime between 1999-2000. I wasnt ready for em at the time but still enjoyed it enough to stop talking

Ugh!

It is a crying shame

Gorkys were ace...

and blatantly many a band are now beginning to sound something like them.

Still...i can console myself with the lush records by mr Euros Childs and Richard James at least, so its not all bad.
