With Babelsberg, Welsh musician Gruff Rhys—renowned for his work with Super Furry Animals and Neon Neon—delivers an ambitious and richly orchestrated solo album. Released by Rough Trade in 2018, the record artfully blends witty, tongue-in-cheek lyricism with layers of symphonic rock, marking a compelling moment in Rhys's storied career.
The album flows between energetic standouts like “Oh Dear!” and sweeping, sorrowful tracks that highlight Rhys’s signature style, enhanced by lovely horns, punchy percussion, and soulful female backing vocals. Balancing playful melodies with themes that touch on societal unease, Babelsberg is a captivating listen for fans of thoughtful, genre-defying rock.
