American Interior is a psychedelic historical travelogue from Welsh pop legend Gruff Rhys.LONGLISTED FOR THE GUARDIAN FIRST BOOK AWARDSHORTLISTED FOR THE GORDON BURN PRIZEIn 1792 John Evans a twenty-two-year-old farmhand from Snowdonia Wales travelled to America to discover whether there was indeed as widely believed a tribe of Welsh-speaking native Americans still walking the great plains. In 2012 Gruff Rhys set out on an ’investigative concert tour’ in the footsteps of John Evans with concerts in New Orleans Baltimore Philadelphia Pittsburgh Cincinnati St Louis North Dakota and more. American Interior is the story of these journeys. It is also an exploration of how wild fantasies interact with hard history and how myth-making can inspire humans to partake in crazy vain pursuits of glory including exploration war and the creative arts. ’Brilliantly life-affirming . . . highlights a world of wonder’ Guardian ’A joyous and poignant celebration of the mythical and the real’ Caught by the River ’Charming and entertainingly written’ IndependentGRUFF RHYS is known around the world for his work as a solo artist as well as singer and songwriter with Super Furry Animals and Neon Neon and for his collaborations with Gorillaz Mogwai Dangermouse and Sparklehorse amongst others.
