Product Description

Special import edition includes two bonus tracks; 'I Totally Understand' and 'Pengwyn Pengwyn'. 2011 release, the third album from the Welsh singer/songwriter and frontman for Super Furry Animals. Hotel Shampoo is inspired by, and takes it's title from, Gruff's extensive collection of mini shampoo bottles and complimentary hotel products acquired whilst touring the world. Having never kept a journal these items have become like diary entries, triggering memories of all those buildings and random people I've met and inspiring songs on the album. Hotel Shampoo's reception desk and opener 'Shark Ridden Waters' is a slice of kaleidoscopic, cinematic Pop music produced by Andy Votel. A dozen equally sumptuous songs follow with Gruff's highly original, clich-free lyrics ranging over a wide spectrum of topics. In addition to vocals, Gruff has played much of the instrumentation himself with the album mostly recorded in north Wales before being mixed in L.A. Turnstile Music.

'11年発表｡ｽｰﾊﾟｰ･ﾌｧｰﾘｰ･ｱﾆﾏﾙｽﾞのﾌﾛﾝﾄﾏﾝの､'05年､'07年に続くｿﾛ3作目｡創造性を掘り下げるﾊﾞﾝﾄﾞとは対照的に､趣味的なﾎﾟｯﾌﾟ･ｻｲｹ･ﾜｰﾙﾄﾞを展開しており､ｼﾞｬｹ&表題の遊び具合同様､表現欲求のﾊﾞﾗﾝｽを図っている｡高品質の地味さに癒される｡
