Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci were a Welsh alternative rock band. They have sung songs in both Welsh and English.

The group was formed by Euros Childs (vocals and keyboards), his sister Megan Childs (violin), John Lawrence (guitar), Richard James (bass), and Euros Rowlands (drums) whilst still at school, and they have seen a number of lineup changes (perhaps most notably, the departure of Lawrence following 1999’s Spanish Dance Troupe) during their existence.

The band’s first release was Patio (1992), a 10” collection of various live, home and studio recordings released on the Welsh Ankst label (this was later expanded for the 1995 CD version). In 1994 their first full studio album, Tatay appeared. Bwyd Time followed the next year - both were produced by Alan Holmes who also provided their colourful artwork. These early releases show a huge range of influences and styles: “Thema o Cartref”, the opening track of Tatay, for example, is a relatively gentle harmonium-backed song, while “When You Hear the Captain Sing” appears to be a tribute of sorts to Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band and “Amsermaemaiyndod/cinema” presents one song in the right channel and a completely different one in the left.

Gorky’s also released a number of singles and EPs on Anskt. Running through all the Ankst records is a kind of psychedelia and playfulness evidently inspired by the Canterbury scene of the 1960s and 1970s (Kevin Ayers’ album Shooting at the Moon is cited in the notes to Tatay as “the best LP of all time”, and the record also includes a version of Robert Wyatt’s “O, Caroline”).
