Our Take

Gruff Rhys may have left his Super Furry Animals days behind, but his solo career is still dabbling in the eclectic and offbeat. With his latest album, "Babelsberg," Rhys takes us on a whimsical journey through lush orchestral arrangements and surreal lyrics.

The album opens with the enchanting "Frontier Man," a wistful tune that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Rhys's distinctive vocals float over sweeping strings and delicate piano, creating a dreamy atmosphere that is equal parts soothing and unsettling.

Tracks like "The Club" and "Limited Edition Heart" showcase Rhys's talent for storytelling, with quirky lyrics that blend the personal and the absurd. It's like falling down a rabbit hole into Rhys's peculiar world, where nothing is quite as it seems.

"Babelsberg" is a cinematic experience, with each song painting a vivid picture in the listener's mind. From the haunting ballad "Same Old Song" to the jaunty "Architecture of Amnesia," Rhys keeps us on our toes with unexpected twists and turns.

Overall, "Babelsberg" is a bold and inventive album that showcases Rhys's unique musical vision. Fans of his previous work will not be disappointed, and newcomers will find plenty to love in this quirky, imaginative record. So sit back, relax, and let Gruff Rhys take you on a wild ride through the wonderfully weird world of "Babelsberg."
