Gruff Rhys screamed on the first song of the first Super Furry Animals album, and 22 years later he’s still waiting patiently. Even as his band of psych-rock shapeshifters waded through all manner of global epidemics-pollution, war, technology overload, evangelicalism, and, um, vampire bats-he never lost his grace, sense of humor, or faith in the underdog. While the Furries have been on pause for much of the current decade, Rhys has continued juggling absurdity and profundity, albeit with a more delicate touch, as a solo artist. Just as Frontier Man savors the friction between its medium and its message, much of Babelsberg lays on the symphonic opulence to conjure the shaky-handed unease of our times: After barreling out of the gates with a frantic gallop, Oh Dear! free-falls into the orchestra pit as Rhys shouts out the ominous title like a drowning victim begging for a life.

Gruff Rhys is an artist, a fan, artist again. I know his secret, well learned, well earned. Live, Gruff Rhys is part comedy with genius psychedelic music played on top, in and out of our ears, creating a river of sound throughout any venue. Reply Notify me Helpful. Babelsberg though, wow!!! snuck out almost totally under my radar, I thought I'd give it a bash just for old times sake. So glad I did, what a joy.

With 'Babelsberg,' Gruff Rhys traverses a variety of eras and styles. The result is an album brimming with energy and emotion. When the opening track, "Frontier Man" kicks in with its soaring melodies and the soothing vocals of Rhys and the backup singers, you instantly know you are in for a treat. The Club" is an infectious number that, while erring on the side of cheesiness, is still a thoroughly enjoyable ride. The cheesiness can be somewhat of a hindrance, but when.

Babelsberg is a rare thing, then; an album where the orchestration is not ladled on the top of some songs already written. The work of BBC National Orchestra of Wales is integral throughout, there is a unified sonic vision that wears its forebears on its sleeve. The album is about America, it’s about Trump and white supremacy and the death of the American dream

Babelsberg is the fifth studio album by Welsh musician Gruff Rhys. It was released in June 2018 under Rough Trade Records.

Babelsberg is the fifth album by Gruff Rhys, his first record for Rough Trade since 2007’s classic Candylion. The album features orchestral scores by Swansea based composer Stephen McNeff and the incredible work of the 72-piece BBC National Orchestra of Wales. The result is Gruff’s best record to date - a ten song gazetteer of modern times, each track set to timeless, indelible melody. Amazingly, for a collection of songs written over two years ago, each one seems to pull very sharp focus on the times we’re living in.
