Gruff Rhys
“Gwn Mi Wn” (From the album Yr Atal Genhedlaeth )
I should probably be pimping something off of Gruff’s new album, Candylion, but I’m afraid that album suffers from the same problem as did the last SFA album: forced accessibility. This isn’t to say that neither album isn’t good (both are very good, actually), it’s just that they lack the pothead edge that you find in Rhy’s earlier, drunker works.
This song is in Welsh, and since I can’t understand a syllable of it so it just might be Gruff saying “you are a fag for listening this” over and over again. I don’t care. It’s simple—just a drum beat and a vocal harmony—but it gets me all pumped up. Great for the start of a run.
