Gruff Rhys performs the title track from his new record for Best Fit
Super Furry Animals man Gruff Rhys is one of a few British musicians to have transcended the ‘90s music scene and taken on semi-legendary status.
The 43-year old Welshman returned this year with his four solo record American Interior, a conceptual undertaking on the life of 18th-century explorer John Thomas Evans who produced an early map of the Missouri River. We met Rhys ahead of a six night run at the London’s Soho Theatre for an acoustic take on the album’s title track, which you can watch above.
