Sadness Sets Me Free (LP)
Gruff Rhys
Amoeba Review
You might read the title Sadness Sets Me Free and think "No way. Sadness is just sadness." But trust Gruff Rhys: through these sweeping chronicles of disappointment, existential malaise, pain, and being a bad friend, the Welsh rocker traces an undercurrent of hope, care, and revival. The arrangements are lovely and romantic, with easy-going rhythms, swooning strings, and a sort of 1960s meets 2024 vibe. Whether you're feeling down or just enjoy a finely crafted song, Sadness Sets Me Free will help you find the beauty in even the darkest moments.
