On the Horizon: Gruff Rhys' Sensations In The Dark.

Sombreros and wetsuits, guitar horns and brass band, any Gruff Rhys video's sure to be barking, baffling, but the Peter Gray-directed Sensations In The Dark heightens such insanity amidst fetishists and foot massages. Rhys exudes his now-stereotypical look of naiveté throughout, as he blusters through the track, attempting to avoid omnipresent distraction.

Rhys is set to tour forthcoming return-to-form record Hotel Shampoo, kicking off proceedings by taking over The Gresham Hotel in Blackpool, before taking in anywhere and everywhere from Bridport to Brighton, Sheffield to Schorndorf. Full UK dates are thus:
