	Cokemachineglow.com : Gruff Rhys: Candylion
		But it’s not like Rhys shouldn’t be taken seriously, and for every googling calypso like “Gyrru Gyrru Gyrru” or long bard fart like “Skylon,” the albums he makes are that much more accessible.
		Just, when, along with his Super Furry bandmates and all their side projects, Rhys is dripping out album after album of thick, strange, and sometimes downright adorable pop music, Candylion sounds poised, more than any other release, to wink out and move on.
		Gruff’s first solo album, Yr Atal Genhedlaeth, came out in the spring of 2005; it was a teensy affair, morbidly simple but so easy to piece apart that the Welsh lyrics went catholic on melody alone.

	Gruff Rhys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gruff Rhys (pronounced [grɪf r̥iːs]; born July 18, 1970 in Haverfordwest (Welsh: Hwlffordd) in south-west Wales) is a member of the Super Furry Animals who were at the forefront of the wave of successful Welsh bands which broke through into the mainstream music scene in the 1990s.
		Rhys has occasionally collaborated with other artists, providing vocals for the track "Dial: Revenge" on the Mogwai album Rock Action as well as guesting on the song "Fear of Guitars" from the album Machine Says Yes by FC Kahuna and the song "Do's and Don'ts" by Boom Bip.
		On 24 January, 2005, Gruff Rhys released his first solo album, Yr Atal Genhedlaeth, to critical acclaim, on the Placid Casual label.

	Gruff Rhys: Yr Atal Genhedlaeth - PopMatters Music Review
		As Gruff Rhys points out in his song-by-song analysis of Yr Atal Genhedlaeth, his first solo outing away from Super Furry Animals, translation can be a hurdle of discontent or a gift of serendipity.
		Many of the album's songs are already built around involved puns in their native Welsh; explaining the complex wordplay can either enhance the lyrical gymnastics or deflate them completely.
		For instance, Rhys describes the record's title as "a play on words that doesn't really translate": Yr Atal Genhedlaeth, literally "The Stopped Generation", refers to a Welsh term for contraception; however, "atal" also means "stuttering", so the simultaneous translation is "The Stuttering Generation".

	Splendid E-zine: Features: Super Furry Animals
		Unfortunately we did not have much time for our conversation, but as we were both suffering from sleep deprivation (and possibly, in Gruff's case, the effects of certain herbal fumes), that might have been a blessing in disguise.
		GRUFF: Yeah, it was gonna come out on Creation, but they folded so we bought the album back from them for six thousand pounds and released it ourselves.
		GRUFF: Yeah, they're forty feet high...but...we'd have to interview you...you know...if you were to have the bears...to see if they'd go to a good home.

	Overstock.com: Gruff Rhys - Yr Atal Genhedlaeth [Limited] * : Music
		Super Furry Animals` frontman Gruff Rhys has been writing for and performing with the well-known Welsh quintet since the band`s 1996 debut, FUZZY LOGIC.
		As on SFA`s MWNG, Rhys adds another skewed angle to his psychedelic pop-rock by singing all of the lyrics in Welsh.
		Rhys also croons his way through an electronica-rock ballad ("Rhagluniaeth Ysgafn"), strums acoustic guitar on sing-along Britpop ("Ni Yw Y Byd"), and rap-sings through angular, but surprisingly tuneful, blip-hop ("Caerffosiaeth").

		A couple of the tracks are just Gruff's voice and a drumbeat and the whole thing is only 30 minutes long.
		Having been a massive fan of SFA from 1996 and remaining loyal to the cause despite some lapses in their form (Guerilla and Rings Around The World are hardly classics!) I had huge expectations of this release with just Gruff at the helm.
		Gruff plays all the instruments and you can tell that he really put his heart and soul into this record.

	Eyeball Kid - Gruff Rhys - Suppy Furry Animals frontman - Live Review
		So we have to rely on Gruff’s translations to get a feel for the meaning of the songs (they are about pirates, sewage cities and experts apparently).
		It’s the first time these songs have been performed live and one gets the overwhelming impression that Gruff hadn’t given much thought to the logistics of his debut solo performance and is heard lamenting one more than one occasion “I don’t have enough hands”.
		However the unassuming nature of Mr Rhys and the quality of music on display here would testify this is not the case.

		Rhys’ creative juices are obviously flowing vigourously, further encouraged by a new deal with Rough Trade and a promise that the new SFA album will be a wild, speaker exploding experience.
		Bizarre kids stuff it may be, and maybe Rhys is looking to grab the fans early as this is followed by the mythological “The Court Of King Arthur”, which sticks with you like the sword in the stone.
		Here’s an interview in which he talks about his fluid writing process, his upcoming documentary on the Welsh community in Argentina, the band’s refusal to let advertisers use their music (hooray!), and the new SFA album due in the summer (even bigger hooray!).

	Gruff Rhys - Candylion : album review
		In contrast to Rhys' first solo collection Yr Atal Genhedlaeth, Candylion is a much more tightly focused and accessible collection of songs (the title track has even found itself featuring heavily on Radio 2), but with enough depth and edge to banish any fears that Rhys may have sold out in some way.
		For although the sound of Candylion is mostly acoustic based and rather pastoral, there are also some moments of experimentation that 90% of other bands wouldn't dream of pursuing.
		Starting with a plane safety announcement, it quickly settles into a loping rhythm while Rhys describes a plane journey with "mediocre movies and frivolous magazines" while sat next to an actress whose work Rhys despises.

	Gruff Rhys 'Yr Atal Genhedlaeth'
		Whether ‘Yr Atal Genhedlaeth’, the debut solo album from SFA’s vocalist Gruff Rhys, repeats these feats remains to be seen but on an artistic level at least, Rhys has served up if not entirely a feast than certainly a rather nutritious snack.
		The extra-curricular activities of ‘Yr Atal Genhedlaeth’ are a blast from start to finish; the fact that Gruff Rhys has elected to release these nuggets on his own make the prospect of the new Super Furry Animals album doubly exciting.

		In an age where rogue Communist states are testing nuclear weapons and All Saints have reformed, we should all be given injections of Gruff's cerebral fluid on the NHS as an hallucinogenic sedative.
		The Cardiff man really is on top of his game, then again he goes by the name of Gruff Rhys.
		Candylion ("a penguin and carnation a lemon and dalmation") the title track is a gem of a song, transporting you outta the miserable month of January and into July, in this song he makes the most of his amazing talent at jibberish wordplay that will make complete sense if you are a Super Furries fan.

	bigchill.net -album song rhys gruff albums solo guitar
		Gruff Rhys' first solo album was a good example of why people should generally stay away from solo albums - songs which were probably rejected by their band, cheap production because there's no big record company bucks behind it, and wilfully obtuse.
		While his first album was all in Welsh, and the sleeve notes are doubled up in his native tongue (as are all SFA releases), just three songs on here are in Welsh.
		A lot of the time, the record still sounds quite stripped down, with just Gruff's acoustic guitar driving the songs but every now and then gorgeous strings sweep you away, and that's down to the two producers.

	Gruff Rhys - Candylion - Review - Uncut.co.uk
		One face that has been largely absent, though, is frontman Gruff Rhys, who emerges here, blinking as if from hibernation, with his second solo album.
		Recorded at SFA producer Gorwel Owen’s cottage in Anglesey, Candylion is a more layered, fully-realised album than 2005’s Yr Atal Genhedlaeth; 12 tracks of fantastical, strings-assisted acoustic pop and exotica-tinged psychedelia that smuggle in curious parables and flashes of apocalypse amid its nursery rhyme sing-songs.
		In one comic passage, Gruff considers self-immolation when he recognises the tedious TV personality sat next to him.

		"LW" is Gruff Rhys and Joanna Newsom in a Baz Luhrman-directed/made-for-television movie about Julian Cayo Evans and his on-again, off-again relationship with Sappho.
		It's a genteel, bantered plaint between Rhys and (I think) Lisa Jen, presented in a suite of three increasingly dramatic parts and completed in under three minutes.
		Rhys is one of the most flamboyant, risky, ambitious and underappreciated pop songwriters and singers of the past decade.

		But here I was, less than 24 hours later, crammed into my clammy little seat at the Bronson Centre in Ottawa, trying to shake those thoughts from my head and prepare for the music that was to follow.
		Gruff Rhys opened the night with a set that started off a bit slow but eventually picked up its pace and ended on a very relaxed and playful note.
		I'll agree that I wasn't overly impressed by Gruff Rhys, but I did feel that his set got better as it progressed, even if the crowd's applause were a little over-the-top.

	GRUFF RHYS, "Yr Atal Genhedlaeth" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		That Super Furry Animals frontman Gruff Rhys had the audacity to record his first solo album entirely in Welsh, a language spoken by less than 600,000 people, is to his credit.
		Recorded in about a week with virtually all instrumentation performed by Rhys, the album is stripped of the lysergic embellishments typically found throughout the Furries' seven-album catalog.
		The only song on the album longer than four minutes is a cover, "Chwarea'n Troi'n Chwerw." The lullaby, though sung beautifully, is a bit of a snooze compared to the lively melodies preceding it, but it's an apt closer to the album.

		Born in 1970, Rhys played in Creation Records' Emily as well as Ffa Coffi Pawb, but his first foray into the musical arts was at the ripe age of five, when he wrote an odd little number about a train driver who's contemplating his own death.
		First a left-field techno group, then later a whacked-out guitar group, SFA got much of its character and respect from Rhys' outlandish and obscure lyrical slants.
		And in true Gruff Rhys form, it was an entirely Welsh affair.
