Our Take

Gruff Rhys, the Welsh wizard of whimsy, returns with his latest solo effort, "Sadness Sets Me Free." This album is a delightful journey through Rhys's unique musical universe, filled with his signature blend of infectious melodies and off-kilter lyrics.

From the opening track, "Frontier Man," Rhys effortlessly transports listeners to a world where cowboy hats and synthesizers coexist in perfect harmony. The album's standout track, "Negative Vibes," is a catchy earworm that will have you dancing around your living room in no time.

Rhys's idiosyncratic songwriting shines through on tracks like "Limited Edition Heart" and "Drones in the City," where he tackles themes of love, loss, and existential dread with his trademark wit and charm. His voice, a comforting blend of honey and gravel, guides us through each song with ease.

"Sadness Sets Me Free" is a testament to Rhys's unparalleled talent as a songwriter and performer. His ability to blend genres and push musical boundaries makes this album a must-listen for any music lover. So go ahead, press play and let the sadness set you free. You won't regret it.
