This new album sees him team up Andy Votel to create an album full of almost nostalgic 70's cinema soundtrack style gems. Its pure brilliance and the first single from it, Shark Ridden Waters released in November last year demonstrates this style and intention straight away.
The Super Furry Animals have been one of most consistently exciting bands in UK since the mid 90's having released 9 studio albums since 1996. As live act too, they never fail to impress and now Gruff Rhys working without his bandmates has continued to deliver exciting, feel good alternative music. He says the album name was inspired by the free shampoo's he has collected while on tour. I have to say the first few listens of these tracks bring a smile to my face....
Also be sure to watch the utterly superb video for the latest single 'Sensations In The Dark'
Perfect feel good Sunday vibes....
I cant wait to grab this album tomorrow and give it a proper listen... His creative, twisted ideology might have peaked! I love it!
Catch Gruff live at Cadogan Hall London on 22/02 and if you want to find out more check out the rather bonkers Gruffington Post.

See the Welsh wizards SFA perform my favourite track from their 'Phantom Power' album - Slow Life:
This band & Gruff Rhys - in my opinion can do no wrong...
Happy Sunday everyone....
