Gruff Rhys has dipped his toe into just about every multimedia facet this year, thanks mainly to his ambitious cross-platform venture ‘American Interior‘.

Now, he’s concentrating on the world of film soundtracks, scoring the entirety of the upcoming Dylan Thomas biopic Set Fire To The Stars, and has shared a portion of the music via Soundcloud (below).

Meanwhile, Rhys will take a full band out on a tour of the UK next February; we last caught him live when he played Royal Northern College Of Music, Manchester in September.

“There are also some wonderfully spirited performances, which considering the one-man-band set up, are superbly inventive in how they are structured,” our review stated.

“During an exciting ‘Shark Ridden Waters’, and others, sound effects records manage to give a depth and mood that is quite startling. But the evening is at its best when Rhys’ humorous interludes and tales of adventure are juxtaposed with the more tender or melancholy musical moments.”
