Recently-released Seeking New Gods is the seventh Gruff Rhys album, yet all his erstwhile bandmates enjoy extracurricular activity too. Cian Ciaran has four albums under his own name, and together with Dafydd Ieuan has composed several TV soundtracks, winning a BAFTA Cymru award in 2011. Ieuan is a member of The Peth, fronted by former SFA singer Rhys Ifans and including Guto Pryce, and has also released two LPs in The Earth, featuring Catatonia guitarist Mark Roberts. Pryce is one half of Gulp, alongside his partner Lindsay Leven, the couple releasing two albums of cinematic dreampop. Huw Bunford, meanwhile, was in Pale Blue Dots and has composed music for films. In 2020, SFA sans Gruff released the debut Das Koolies single, It’s All About The Dolphins.
