Another One From Gruff Rhys

May 11, 2018 RayRay Leave a comment

Hey just last month I was excited to share news of old favorite Gruff Rhys putting out a new solo album this summer. Today I am again pleased to share with you another new single from his forthcoming album with a video for “Limited Edition Heart”. Similar to the last track I shared, this one again has a very lounge act vibe to it with the always comforting and soothing vocals of Gruff. This might go down as one of my most played albums of the year.

This track, along with 9 others, will be available on an LP entitled Babelsbergdue out on June 8th via Rough Trade Records.

Gruff Rhys Is Back Again

April 10, 2018 RayRay Leave a comment

Thought not mentioned much by us over the last several years, Gruff Rhys is one prolific dude who pumps out all kinds of art via music, film and even literature. Assuming all of you, or most of you, know the guy a bit, you won’t be surprised to find this new track “Frontier Man” is pretty typical of the style we know and love from Gruff. It is a bit more americana/folk than some of his previous efforts but that lyrical playfulness and extreme baritone voice are both still present. Ya dig.

Gruff Rhys will release new album Babelsberg on June 8th via Rough Trade Records.

Somehow I woke up today, turned my computer on, and suddenly realized that Levitation Festival is going down this weekend. I suppose with all us ATH members being so dang busy over the last month or so, we fell asleep and failed on our pre-coverage. Well today that changes with our first band to watch feature spotlighting veteran Welsh band Super Furry Animals. Follow the jump for some brief personal thoughts and a video or two.

New Music From Gruff Rhys

October 18, 2010 RayRay Leave a comment

I am one of the firm believers that Gruff Rhys has long been one of the great indie song writers who somehow continually manages to fly under the radar. Hell, sometimes I don’t even get wind of his new material until way after the fact. So it goes with this new single from Gruff entitled “Shark Ridden Waters”. The track is only a single and not set to appear on a new album or any of that business. Check it out below and discover the subtle pop greatness known as Gruff Rhys.
