Cerys Matthews returns with new album, single and tour. Open Roads is the name of the first single to be taken from the new album 'Never Said Goodbye' released on Rough Trade Records.

The follow-up to her critically acclaimed debut solo album 'Cockahoop' from 2003 was produced by Stuart Sikes (The White Stripes, The Walkmen), Ben Elkins (Heypenny) and Cerys Matthews and mixed by Jeremy Ferguson (Josh Rouse, Be Your Own Pet).

Previously vocalist for Catatonia, one of the most successful bands to have ever emerged from Wales, Cerys Matthews now lives in Nashville with her husband and two young children.

Cerys's post-Catatonia solo career has gone from strength to strength; 'Cockahoop' was met with widespread acclaim, The Times describing the album as, "one of those unexpected triumphs of literal thinking in pop. certainly an album worth cheering about", whilst The Independent declared, "the instant you hear 'Cockahoop', you wonder why she never made it before".

Cerys will also be touring the UK for the first time in three years in support of 'Never Said Goodbye'.
