Gorky's Zygotic Mynci was a Welsh alternative rock band with a unique and eclectic style that defied easy categorization. Formed in 1991 in Carmarthen, Wales, by Euros Childs (vocals/keyboards), John Lawrence (guitar/vocals), and Richard James (bass), while they were still in their early teens, the group was later joined by Megan Childs (violin) and Euros Rowlands (drums). Gorky's Zygotic Mynci sang both in English and Welsh and quickly became known for their quirky, folk-infused indie pop sound that incorporated elements of psychedelia, folk, and even progressive rock.

The band's distinct sound and commitment to their Welsh roots gained them a loyal following within the UK indie scene of the 1990s and early 2000s. Albums like "Spanish Dance Troupe" (1999) and "How I Long To Feel That Summer In My Heart" (2001) showcased the group's ability to blend whimsical lyrics with intricate musical arrangements. They pushed the boundaries of their sound further with releases like "The Blue Trees" (2000), an EP that stripped down their arrangements to present a more intimate and acoustic vibe. "Poodle Rockin'" of 2000 was another example of their offbeat charm and musical dexterity. Unfortunately, after releasing "Stood On Gold" in 2003, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci disbanded in 2006, leaving behind a rich legacy of innovation and a dedicated fanbase. Their music remains an endearing example of the creative ferment that marked alternative music at the turn of the century.
