There, in La Frette Studios, a recording facility installed in a 19th-century house, Gruff and his road-hardened group tracked \"Sadness Sets Me Free\" in just three days. Backing vocals were added along the way by Kate Stables from This Is The Kit along with additional strings and orchestration and it was mixed between Marseille and Cardiff. What finally emerged from these intense bouts of cross-continental activity was Gruff's most accomplished and beautiful record to date.\u003c\/big\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbig\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/big\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbig\u003eIn a career that has taken him from the slate-mining towns of north-west Wales, down to the expat communities of Patagonia, up to the Mandan tribe of the Great Plains of North America and across to the Tuareg rock groups of the Saharan Desert, Gruff Rhys, one of Britain's most beloved and successful singer-songwriters, has always been willing to follow an opportunity, wherever it may lead him. \"At this point I quite like working with serendipity,\" he says. \"Not in a cosmic way, [but] I try and leave things open to chance encounters and chance geography.
