Gruff and I chatted in the basement hallway of Barboza&amp;nbsp;about personal and creative exploration, learning new languages and preserving old ones, and his songwriting process and tools. Unfortunately, there's a decent amount of noise in the background throughout most of the interview; opener Willis Earl Beal provided a lulling background during the first part of the interview, but it gets a little loud in the second half of the interview when we're trying to chat over a DJ night. Grab a beer\/soda water and pretend you're listening to some buddies chatting in a loud bar and I promise, it is tolerable.&amp;nbsp;\r\nThanks so much to Gruff Rhys and his tour manager Nolan for giving me the chance to chat.&amp;nbsp;\r\nStay tuned for The Royal Basement episode 7, this time with Chris Porterfield of Field Report!
