Gruff Rhys - Seeking New Gods | Review

7.5/10
Gruff Rhys goes where many others fear to tread; in a fifteen-year solo trot caused by the very long-term hiatus of the Super Furry Animals he’s made records about, amongst others, John DeLorean, Giangiacomo Feltrinelli and John Evans.
Never underinvested, whilst some artists describe a project as a concept album when it has a couple of tracks which mention aliens, few people have shown as much commitment to the principle as the man who on his last album Pang ended up with lyrics sung in Zulu.
The difference here is that Seeking New Gods isn’t about a god but about a mountain, specifically Mount Paektu in Korea, a still active volcano and supposedly the birthplace of Dangun, the founder of the first Korean kingdom more than 4,000 years ago.
