This one's a special show for me! For this show, Yellow Brit Road (I) was on the ground in Toronto, where I caught up with a personal hero of mine: Gruff Rhys, Welsh musician, former frontman of the band Super Furry Animals, one half of Mercury-nominated duo Neon Neon, storyteller extraordinaire and solo musician. Gruff was performing at the Drake Underground in Toronto on 17 October 2023, supporting indie-folk band This Is The Kit on tour across North America.
We talked about the Welsh music scene, the 90s, Super Furry Animals, Welsh pop culture, Super Furries' "lost techno album", and Gruff's upcoming solo album, Sadness Sets Me Free, out 26 January 2024! (tomorrow)
