外文名：Gruff Rhys 职业：音乐家、词曲作者、电影制作人、作家、制片人 生日：1970年7月18日 简介：Best known for his tenure in the hard-to-peg-down Welsh outfit Super Furry Animals, Gruff Rhys has a long history in British rock. Born in 1970, Rhys played in Creation Records' Emily as well as Ffa Coffi Pawb, but his first foray into the musical arts was at the ripe age of five, when he wrote an odd little number about a train driver who's contemplating his own death. In 1990, a chance meeting helped lead to the development of what would become Super Furry Animals. First a left-field techno group, then later a whacked-out guitar group, SFA got much of its character and respect from Rhys' outlandish and obscure lyrical slants. After many critically acclaimed singles and full-lengths, Rhys released his solo outing Yr Atal Genhedlaeth in 2005. And in true Gruff Rhys form, it was an entirely Welsh affair. He followed up the release with a small sampling of dates in his native homeland. WhenSuper Furry Animals moved to Rough Trade, the label also picked up Rhys' solo work and released his second album, Candylion, early in 2007. The album was released by Team Love in the U.S. shortly afterward. 从艺历程：格鲁夫德·马雷杜德·鲍恩·里斯是威尔士音乐家、作曲家、制作人、电影制作人和作家。他以个人身份演出，也与多家乐队合作，其中包括在 1990 年代获得主流成功的Super Furry Animals 。他与Boom Bip组建了电子流行乐队Neon Neon。他们的专辑Stainless Style获得2008 年全国水星奖提名。2011 年，他凭借专辑Hotel Shampoo赢得了威尔士音乐奖， 2014 年他又发行了American Interior ，并发行了一部电影、一本书和一款移动应用程序。他最近的专辑《Sadness Sets Me Free》于 2024 年发行。他被认为是“Cool Cymru”时代的领军人物。 里斯于1970年 7 月 18 日出生于威尔士哈弗福德韦斯特。他有一个哥哥和一个姐姐；他的父亲是伊万·鲍文·里斯(1929 年 1 月 13 日 - 1999 年 5 月 4 日)，一位“诗人、散文家、辩论家、登山家、国际主义者……以及吟游诗人 Gorsedd 的白袍德鲁伊”。鲍文·里斯“一生都在为威尔士的权利、语言和文化而奋斗”，尽管他不相信狭隘的民族主义观点，不美化一个国家胜过另一个国家，而是认为“威尔士之战是种族灭绝时代所有小国、所有小社区、所有个人的战斗”。里斯的母亲玛格丽特·温·梅雷迪思和父亲一样热爱写作，也是一位诗人。 里斯在北威尔士圭内斯贝塞斯达的Ysgol Dyffryn Ogwen接受教育，并在曼彻斯特城市大学获得艺术学位。
