    • Gruff Rhys - Candylion

    • Format: Album

  • FYI: the titular Candylion was raised by bears in Micronesia, trained as a chef in Paris and, following a City & Guilds in desktop publishing, transformed himself into a card assembly image of his former self and arranged for the kind lady at the depot to mail him to his bear brothers and sisters. This first single from the SFA luminary’s new LP sounds a little phoned-in, and some late-in-the-game strings over the primitive melody isn’t quite enough to save it.
