May 1, 2014Its songs are not weighed down by the Evans concept, and are hugely enjoyable on their own merits.

May 1, 2014There’s a gleefully brash use of whatever’s at hand that recalls the one-man-band approach to his solo debut, Yr Atal Genhedlaeth, but American Interior is also a far better exploration of Americana than Super Furry Animals’ Love Kraft turned out to be.
