Gruff Rhys
presents the soundtrack for the film
Set Fire To The Stars
(2014). Although recorded around the same time as Gruff's last LP (2014's hugely acclaimed
American Interior
),
Set Fire To The Stars
paints a very different picture to that of the Welsh explorer
John Evans
. Equal parts cocktail jazz, hazy Americana and atomic age bop, it's a love letter to New York in all its hopeful, post war glory - a gorgeous diversion of a record to add to Gruff's increasingly brilliant solo catalogue. Gruff on
Set Fire To The Stars
: "This is an album of music written for a film directed by
Andy Goddard
concerning the poet
Dylan Thomas
's first week in the USA in 1950 and his uneven friendship with fellow poet - and agent of sorts -
John Malcolm Brinnin
. As the film is shot in black and white and set in the jazz age, I decided not to use any instruments unavailable in that era. I also kept the recordings as live takes. Beyond that - I didn't try and ape the style of that era in particular apart from the song 'Atom Bomb' which on screen, plays on a jukebox in a cafe and needed to be true to the year sonically and lyrically in some way. Playing the guitar, I formed a short lived 'Agro-Jazz' quartet (you got a problem with that?) called
Video Loss
with
Chris Walmsley
on drums,
Jim Barr
on double bass and
Osian Gwynedd
on piano. I wrote a bunch of songs and instrumentals. Some other bits were improvised to picture by Osian Gwynedd and myself. 'Chop Shop' features Video Loss on max Moon-Ra improvisational setting.
Gruff ab Arwel
arranged all the strings and
Gavin Fitzjohn
played and scored the brass. It was recorded and mixed at Toybox, Bristol by the incredible
Ali Chant
- apart from the strings which were recorded at Metropolis, London."
