Celebrating the remastered release of his album “American Interior” Super Furry Animal Gruff Rhys will play a special live concert at Peter Edel in May. Gruff represents one of the finest pop artists of his generation. Iechyd Da! SFA OK!
Gruff Rhys is pleased to announce his new album Sadness Sets Me Free, which will be released by Rough Trade Records on January 26, 2024. Incredibly, this will be the 25th album of his career (individually, collaboratively and as a member of various bands) that has spanned 35 years.
In a career that has taken him from the slate-mining towns of north-west Wales, down to the expat communities of Patagonia, up to the Mandan tribe of the Great Plains of North America and across to the Tuareg rock groups of the Saharan Desert, Gruff Rhys, one of Britain’s most beloved and successful singer-songwriters, has always been willing to follow an opportunity, wherever it may lead him. “At this point I quite like working with serendipity,” he says. “Not in a cosmic way, [but] I try and leave things open to chance encounters and chance geography. As I’m around 25 albums in I’m always looking for ways to make a different-sounding record.”
