Following the release of his new welsh language album Dim Probs on Mogwai’s Rock Action label, Super Furry Animal Gruff Rhys returns to Berlin this March for a special live concert at Prachtwerk in Neukölln.
Gruff Rhys is a touring songwriter and recording artist based in Cardiff, Wales who has consistently sought a variety of outlets for a wide spectrum of creative ideas that include 26 studio albums to date.
Renowned for their blissful melodies, his solo albums have explored untapped areas musically and lyrically. His first, 2005’s Yr Atal Genhedlaeth, revelled in Welsh language puns; Candylion and Hotel Shampoo followed soon, both experimental pop albums of international renown. 2014’s American Interior followed the unbelievable journey of 18th century cartographer John Evans; Signing to Rough Trade records, Babelsberg offered a baroque take on the modern world in 2018; while a year later Pang! created a multi-lingual mash-up, driven by folkish bleeps crafted in collaboration with Zulu artist-producer Muzi.
The Top Ten charting Seeking New Gods climbed fresh lyrical and musical terrain, a conceptual record about his own mountain and became his most critically and commercially successful solo album yet. 2024 saw the release of its follow up, the widescreen, baroque pop ‘Sadness Sets Me Free’. Recorded on the outskirts of Paris with his band, it garnered further rave reviews and was widely acclaimed to be amongst his finest work. 2025 sees the release of his latest Welsh language album Dim Probs.
