Gruff Rhys
The album functions like a melancholic musical, balancing sweeping strings with sharp lyrical thoughts. Ali Chant produced these sessions, leaning into a sophisticated pop style. The arrangements take the alternative rock framework and turn it into something ornate.
Grounding his work in the political climate of 2018, the artist creates a standout project. The result feels grounded yet expansive. It is an ambitious entry in his solo catalog that highlights his talent for melodic composition.
