Gruff Rhys

Initiated with a giggling, splashing radio track and sung down the steps of a complicated ladder, Gruff Rhys from Super Furry Animals has discovered a wild track and captured it on his website:
"SHARK ATTACK! Help! A song in the form of a large silver shark was discovered yesterday off the west coast of Wales . . . A mysterious recording was made of it as it swam aggressively past a miked up dilapidated wooden fishing trawler, like some old boat off Jaws."

This aggressive silver shark is actually quite passive and rhythmically soothing as you listen to it, so perhaps it has beean misunderstood all along. Listen to "Shark Ridden Waters" above and catch it in your net below.
