This live recording of Gruff Rhys performing "Gathering Moss" acoustically highlights the band's eclectic style, blending melodic pop with rich, layered instrumentation. Interestingly, this event took place at a Stop Smiling magazine event, showcasing not just the band's musical talent but also their alignment with indie culture and media. It’s a moment that reflects their evolution—a time when they sought more intimate expressions amidst their diverse catalogue. The laid-back, acoustic setting of the performance emphasizes the heartfelt nuances of their work, proving the band's versatility beyond their typically bold arrangements.
