Gruff Rhys
American Interior (2025 Remastered Bonus Edition) (Apricot, Purple & Rosé Vinyl)

PRE-ORDER: EXPECTED TO SHIP 16 MAY

In 2012 Gruff Rhys embarked on a solo 'investigative concert tour' through the heart of America following the route taken by his distant relative John Evans. Every night he presented songs augmented by a PowerPoint presentation that detailed his relative's unbelievable history, along with any new piece of information that had come his way during the day. He was ultimately looking for Evans's lost unmarked grave. Along with many major cities, the tour took him to play shows at the Mandan and Omaha tribe reservations, a Missouri vineyard, villages that no longer exist and lay at the bottom the Mississippi river and a New Orleans bordello. What transpired from that 'investigative concert tour' was a 2014 album, 'American Interior', plus a book, film and exhaustive tour of the same name. With the aid of the dusted-off PowerPoint presentation, Gruff Rhys and a full band revisits the project in 2025 to perform the songs that formed both the album, and the soundtrack to the film. Originally released in 2014, the album has now been remastered and will be released for the first time on Rough Trade with bonus tracks which have long been out of print on LP and never released digitally. This 3LP Deluxe version includes five extra tracks and is pressed on Apricot/Purple/Rosé Vinyl in a triple gatefold sleeve.
