Gruff Rhys finds inspiration for his music in a variety of unusual places. 
The Pembrokeshire-born, Cardiff-based musician - best known, of course, as the singer and main songwriter for Super Furry Animals - has released albums based on all manner of subjects. 
His first, 2005’s Yr Atal Genhedlaeth, revelled in Welsh-language puns. This was swiftly followed by experimental pop albums Candylion and Hotel Shampoo, while 2014’s American Interior followed the journey of 18th-century cartographer John Evans. 

Babelsberg came along in 2018, offering a baroque take on the modern world, while 2019’s Pang! created a multi-lingual mash-up driven by folkish bleeps crafted in collaboration with Zulu artist-producer Muzi. 
A conceptual record about his own mountain, Seeking New Gods, became his most critically and commercially successful solo album yet, and was followed last year by the widescreen, baroque pop of Sadness Sets Me Free. Never a man to rest on his laurels, Gruff is this month releasing a new Welsh-language album entitled Dim Probs.
