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.

  2. LD50 says Heh, nice link, and god to hear they've got a new album out soon...though I have to say I went off them a bit ever since "Mwng". Still, might be time to re-acquaint myself with them..."SFA ok, SFA ok, Super Furry Animals, SFA ok..." ;)

  3. FluxCapacitor says Yeah, I haven't enjoyed the past two albums, but Candylion is a lovely little record, so here's hoping the rest of the band will pick up the baton for their summer release. Unless Gruyff's used up all the good material for this one? ;)
