Gruff Rhys played London with audiobooks (pics, setlist)

Super Furry Animals frontman Gruff Rhys played London’s Roundhouse on Thursday (1/24) as part of the venue’s intimate “In the Round” series. Like he’s been doing, this was a Babelsberg show, where he played the 2018 album in full, followed by a second set of songs that here includes singles “Candylion,” “Sensations in the Dark,” “American Interior,” “Gyrru Gyrru Gyrru” and Super Furry Animals “Colonise the Moon.” Check out the setlist below.

Opening the night were duo audiobooks — featuring fellow Welshman David Wrench and Evangeline Ling — whose debut album Now! (in a minute) was one of our favorite albums of 2018. Pictures of their set, and Gruff’s, are in the gallery above.
