Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, Gruff Rhys surfaces with new song, Shark Ridden Waters… A shimmering slice of kaleidoscopic, cinematic pop music, Shark Ridden Waters is available immediately as a free download from link and will also be available on 12” vinyl from 8th November.
Shark Ridden Waters is taken from Gruff’s recently completed, and previously unannounced, third solo album. Due out in February 2011, the record promises to be the Welsh singer and musician’s most ambitious and accomplished yet.
Ahead of the album’s release, Gruff will be setting sail on a voyage of small, stripped back UK and European dates. His various ports of call are listed below and tickets are on sale now.
