Gruff Rhys – Set Fire To The Stars – LP

Twisted Nerve

Gruff Rhys presents the soundtrack to the film “Set Fire To The Stars”.  Although recorded around the same time as Gruff’s last LP (2014’s hugely acclaimed American Interior), “Set Fire To The Stars” paints a very different picture to that of the Welsh explorer John Evans. Equal parts cocktail jazz, hazy Americana and Atomic Age bop, it’s a love letter to New York in all its hopeful, post war glory – a gorgeous diversion of a record to add to Gruff’s increasingly brilliant solo catalogue.
