Celebrating his new album “Pang” Super Furry Animal Gruff Rhys will play a special live concert at Privatclub in Kreuzberg this November. Gruff represents one of the finest pop artists of his generation and comes with our highest recommendation. Iechyd Da! SFA OK!
Babelsberg is the fifth album by Gruff Rhys, his first record for Rough Trade since 2007’s classic Candylion. The album features orchestral scores by Swansea based composer Stephen McNeff and the incredible work of the 72 piece BBC National Orchestra of Wales. The result is Gruff’s best record to date – a ten song gazetteer of modern times, each track set to timeless, indelible melody. Amazingly, for a collection of songs written over two years ago, each one seems to pull very sharp focus on the times we’re living in.
Gruffudd Maredudd Bowen Rhys born 18 July 1970 in Haverfordwest is a Welsh musician, composer, producer, filmmaker and author.
