Born in 1970, Rhys played in Creation Records' Emily as well as Ffa Coffi Pawb, but his first foray into the melodic liberal arts was at the mature age of little Phoebe, when he wrote an funny slight bit about a prepare driver who's contemplating his possess last. In 1990, a probability meeting helped lead to the developing of what would get Super Furry Animals. First a left field techno grouping, then later a whacked-out guitar group, SFA got much of its persona and respect from Rhys' freaky and obscure lyrical slants. After many critically acclaimed singles and full-lengths, Rhys released his solo field day Yr Atal Genhedlaeth in 2005. And in true Gruff Rhys shape, it was an only Welsh affaire. He followed up the waiver with a minor sample distribution of dates in his native motherland. WhenSuper Furry Animals touched to Rough Trade, the label as well picked up Rhys' solo cultivate and released his instant album, Candylion, early in 2007. The record album was released by Team Love in the U.S. shortly subsequently.
