Dim Probs

The legendary Gruff Rhys returns with "Dim Probs", his ninth solo album, fourth Welsh language long player, and first release through Mogwai's Rock Action Records.Featuring fellow Welsh artists Cate Le Bon and H. Hawkline on backing vocals, and produced with long time collaborator Ali Chant (Yard Act/PJ Harvey) at his studio in Bristol UK, Dim Probs echoes the warmth and closeness of Gruff's career defining first solo album (2005's Yr Atal Genhedlaeth) and the stargazing melancholy of 2021's Seeking New Gods. Written and performed entirely in Welsh/Cymraeg, Dim Probs places the listener side by side with one of the country's greatest and most thoughtful songwriters in the corner of a studio as the songs grow around them from just voice and guitar. The result is an intimate and hypnotic record that mixes acoustic folk with whatever scratchy, primitive electronic machines come to hand on each track. One listen? Dim probs indeed!"Dim Probs' is Gruff Rhys' first fully Welsh language album since 2019's Pang!, and the follow up to his acclaimed 2024 album "Sadness Sets You Free", released on Rough Trade Records and was named by Mojo magazine (UK) as one of their top 20 albums of the year.
