Gruff Rhys might be forgiven for basking in some well earned time off this new year after the striking success of his multimedia, cross-platform venture ‘American Interior‘ during 2014.
Quite the opposite though; his first release for 2015 has already been confirmed and will come in the form of ‘Married 2 Me’ on February 14th. The track is to be available exclusively on the digital format and sees Rhys linking up with his Super Furry Animals bandmate Dafydd Ieuan for the first time since 2010. In addition, vocals are provided by Dionne Bennett.
‘American Interior’ told the story of a Welsh explorer named John Evans and was included on Live4ever’s Essential Listening 2014 list last month after our review began:
“Gruff Rhys has never been shy of experimentation. ‘American Interior’ is an album that encompasses that notion. Always moody, melancholic and melodic, it is delivered with a trademark craft of songwriting not unfamiliar with Super Furry Animals.”
