===Solo=== [[File:Gruff Rhys @ EOTR 2024.jpg|thumb|Gruff Rhys performing at [[End of the Road Festival|End of the Road]], Dorset, England on 30th August 2024]] On 24 January 2005, Rhys released his first solo album, ''[[Yr Atal Genhedlaeth]]'', on the Placid Casual label. It was a loose, sketchy, all-Welsh-language album, with most of the instruments played by Rhys. A tour of Wales and several festival appearances followed. After Super Furry Animals signed to Rough Trade, the new label agreed to take on his solo works as well, and on 8 January 2007 they released ''[[Candylion]]'', a batch of acoustic pop songs in English, Spanish and Welsh, which Rhys wrote whilst touring ''Love Kraft'' but which did not fit with the direction of the new Super Furry Animals album. A third solo album by Rhys, ''[[Hotel Shampoo]]'', was released on 14 February 2011. On 4 March 2011, it was announced that Rhys would be playing at [[Glastonbury Festival 2011|Glastonbury 2011]]. In May 2014, Rhys released his new work, ''American Interior'' (''I Grombil Cyfandir Pell''), a combined project of an album, a film, a hardback book and an [[mobile application software|app]] for mobile devices. The film was co-directed by Dylan Goch, who also worked with Rhys on his previous film, ''Separado!'' (2010). From December 2015 to January 2016, Rhys fronted a co-production with [[National Theatre Wales]] titled "The Insatiable, Inflatable Candylion", featuring songs from ''Candylion'' and several new tracks. The music and lyrics were by Gruff Rhys and the play's text, which included audience participation, by Tim Price. The musicians appearing with Rhys were [[9 Bach|Lisa JΓͺn Brown]] (who also sang on the original album), [[Sweet Baboo]], [[Islet (band)|Emma Daman Thomas]] and [[Kliph Scurlock]]. The show also included actors Remy Beasley, Matthew Bulgo, [[Dyfan Dwyfor]], Natasha Lewis and Dyfrig Morris.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationaltheatrewales.org/insatiable-inflatable-candylion|title=The Insatiable, Inflatable Candylion |publisher=National Theatre Wales|access-date=15 January 2016}}</ref> On 21 April 2016, Rhys released a new song entitled "I Love EU", a song praising the [[European Union]] ahead of the [[2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum|EU Referendum]] on 23 June 2016.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Rhys|first1=Gruff|title=Gruff Rhys: hear his song I Love EU β and find out why he wrote it|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2016/apr/21/gruff-rhys-hear-his-song-i-love-eu-and-find-out-why-he-wrote-it|website=The Guardian|date=21 April 2016 |access-date=22 April 2016}}</ref> Rhys released his fifth album, entitled ''Babelsberg'', on 8 June 2018. A further album, "Pang!", was released on 13 September 2019, produced by South African DJ [[Muzi (musician)|Muzi]].
