Gruff Rhys - Seeking New Gods (CD)

Gruff Rhys - Seeking New Gods (CD) Gruff Rhys releases his new album ØSeeking New GodsÙ through Rough Trade. This is GruffÙs seventh solo album. ØSeeking New GodsÙ was recorded following a US tour with his band and mixed in LA with superstar producer Mario C (Beastie Boys). The album concept was originally driven to be the biography of a mountain, Mount Paektu (an East Asian active volcano). However, as GruffÙs writing began to reflect on the inhuman timescale of a peakÙs existence and the intimate features that bring it to mythological life, both the songs and the mountain became more and more personal. ÜThe album is about people and the civilisations, and the spaces people inhabit over periods of time. How people come and go but the geology sticks around and changes more slowly. I think itÙs about memory and time,Ý he suggests of ØSeeking New GodsÙ meaning. TRACKLISTING 1. Mausoleum Of My Former Self 2. CanÙt Carry On 3. Loan Your Loneliness 4. Seeking New Gods 5.
