Gruff Rhys by Ryan Owen Eddleston
Gruff Rhys is following the 2021 album Seeking New Gods.
Gruff Rhys has soundtracked the new film The Almond And The Seahorse and will release it digitally and on deluxe 2LP in February 2023.
“The soundtrack for The Almond And The Seahorse was recorded largely in pandemic conditions so it was a matter of recording in bursts of possible activity in various friends’ studios, homes and even scout halls as chance permitted,” Rhys explained.
“It’s a varied quilt work as a result. As sonic flagpoles I wanted to signify the film’s location in Liverpool and the Wirral by liberally, but hopefully not too obviously, using the Mellotron synthesizer (as famously used in Strawberry Fields by the Beatles and therefore in my mind it represents that great city sonically) and the cello as a nod to its use by Gwen’s character in the film.”
