The record, which is the Super Furry Animals star's third solo effort, is released on February 14.

The title of the record is a reference to Rhys's habit of hoarding mini shampoo bottles and other complimentary hotel products while on tour.

“In 1995 I began touring the world industrially as a pop musician,” he said. “A gleaming new cosmos of hotel accommodation opened up for me and in an instant I was seduced by the free product available in the rooms.

“I hoarded these objects in a rush of mild kleptomania. Every room in my house began to amass these plastic bottles and various, hotel-related things from every continent on earth (except Antarctica).”

Meanwhile, Rhys is set to embark on a short UK and Ireland tour later this month.

Tickets are on sale now.
