As you might know, SFA frontman Gruff Rhys has just released a new solo album called Candylion. Here's "an interview":interview in which he talks about his fluid writing process, his upcoming documentary on the Welsh community in Argentina, the band's refusal to let advertisers use their music (hooray!), and the new SFA album due in the summer (even bigger hooray!).[interview]http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,14932-2542389,00.htmlThe interview also details how legendary stoner Gruff ran (ambled?) into trouble in an uptight US hotel:"To hear Rhys rueing his poor fortune when it comes to American hotels, though, is to wonder whether his concussed demeanour might also be a factor. He details an episode when the staff of a glamorous New York establishment took exception to him. “It was half an hour of slapstick,” he says. “The elevator with me in it was going up while the one containing them was going down.”Surely, in situations like that, it’s permissible for a tired frontman to dispense a tetchy “Do you know who I am?” “No . . . well, um, I didn’t know who I was at the time,” explains Rhys."There's also "a podcast":podcast featuring music from Candylion.
