Gruff Rhys...sensational in the dark...

Yep, everyone's favourite Welshman...well my favourite Welshman at least, Mr Gruff Rhys, is back with a brand new album (Hotel Shampoo) and single (the mariachi-tastic 'Sensations In The Dark'). Seemingly one of the most chilled out dudes in the universe he's been steadily producing some of the darn finest music around now for nearly twenty years, both as a Super Furry Animal and (my personal preference) solo artist. Previous solo efforts Candylion and Neon Neon remain firmly in my top albums of all time list and Hotel Shampoo looks set to join 'em. He's on tour right now but it looks like most dates have sold out. Bummer. If you've not got a reservation console yerself with the video instead or check in to Gruff's website for more Hotel Shampoo related merry making.
