Candylion
For those who aren’t fans of Super Furry Animals, the thought of a Gruff Rhys solo record is not exactly thrilling. ‘Candylion’ is a simple enough little number, short on lyrics and long on innocent charm. In fact, it borders on the unforgivably twee. Ultimately, it manages to stay on the right side of the divide – though not by much.
