Gruff Rhys opens like never before. Mary Anne gets intimate with the Super Furry Animals and Neon Neon maestro, talking about his childhood, the colours in his head, and his strange driver's licence.

Gruff has recently released 'Praxis Makes Perfect' with Neon Neon, an album about Italian publisher Giangiacomo Feltrinelli. Which makes it the perfect time to expose him to Mary Anne's 'Key Of Life' questions, following in the footsteps of Richard Hawley, Billy Bragg, Brett Anderson and Johnny Marr.
