Welsh singer-songwriter Tathan has a rare gift: turning heartbreak into something hauntingly beautiful. His latest release, Wallpaper, is a gentle gut-punch of a song—intimate, emotionally rich, and impossible to shake off once it gets under your skin.
With soft acoustic textures and lyrical precision, Wallpaper takes on the quiet ache of being replaced. It’s not about messy endings or dramatic exits. It’s about the subtle sting of being painted over—out of sight, but never fully gone.
🎧 “Like old wallpaper—you’re still there underneath.”
There’s something quietly devastating about the imagery in Wallpaper. The metaphor is simple, but it lands hard: someone moving on like you were never there, only for you to linger beneath the surface like layers of forgotten wallpaper.
“It’s about feeling discarded,” Tathan says,
“but knowing deep down that people can’t just erase you without trace. Even when they pretend to forget you, you’re still part of the story.”
It’s heartbreak, wrapped in reverb and delivered with a calm kind of clarity.
🎙️ From Wales to Dorset—With Love
Although Tathan hails from Wales, Wallpaper was recorded and produced in Dorset, connecting him to a growing network of local artists and producers who are redefining what it means to make music on the South Coast. The track even earned a spot on our MADE in Dorset Spotify playlist—a subtle nod to the talent flowing through the region, no matter where it originates.
💔 Honest, Atmospheric, and One to Watch
Wallpaper is the kind of track that rewards stillness. Best experienced through headphones or on a slow evening walk, it sits somewhere between Matt Maltese, Bon Iver, and early Ben Howard—emotional, understated, and unafraid to sit with the uncomfortable stuff.
This is music that doesn’t beg for attention. It earns it—quietly, powerfully, and with real staying power.
