With his involvement in Super Furry Animals long passed, Gruff Rhys has been happily pushing himself forward as a solo artist. While this is not a new development - he released a number of album-length solo projects during the time the band was active - new album Seeking New Gods shows that he's finally settling on a sound of his own. Full of jangling, soft-touch indie music blessed with interesting musical arrangements, expansive instrumental choices and strong, sing-along choruses, the nine songs that make up the set draw on a variety of inspirations (the Beatles circa 'Penny Lane', dream-pop, Stereolab, glam-rock, folk and much more) whilst still being blessed with their own trademark sound.
