Gruff Rhys and Lily Cole have shared a video for Selfies in the Sunset.
The song features on Gruff’s recent LP ‘Babelsberg’, while its colourful, despondent video is the work of director Ewan Jones Morris. In a statement (via Rolling Stone), Rhys said: “A couple of years ago I noticed some smiling, healthy looking young people taking selfies in front of a particularly spectacular sunset, I turned around to walk away only to see another sunset in front of me.
“I realized the first sunset was just the glow looming above a chemical plant. Still, the selfies would have looked like they were taken in California. (We weren’t in California). It got me thinking about Armageddon. Maybe people will be taking selfies till the very end. They’ll be pretty spectacular and will feature the golden colors of the Sunset. With the acceleration of climate change maybe it is the end. A slow painful process not an event.”
Rhys has UK and Ireland dates in the diary for later this year, including a new date at Wrexham's Live Rooms alongside openers Sweet Baboo and Seazoo.
