SUPER FURRY ANIMALS Latest News

Islet are a new band. That much is obvious. Less obvious is the route they took before emergence, which is suddenly, strangely radical. And they don’t even know they’re doing it. I know you’re out there I know you’re gone You can’t say that’s fair Can’t you be wrong? -Dinosaur Jr., Out There, 1993 Islet are a band who have done it...
Wildlife likes other creatures, especially Super Furry Animals. As such I was happy to get a telegram from SFA headquarters today letting me know that they are in Cardiff working their hairy paws off to complete the recording of their ninth studio album. The as-yet untitled long player is due for digital release on the 16th of March through ww.superfurry.com, while the physical release will...

SUPER FURRY ANIMALS MP3s

Montage Populaire’s demo is an inventive, eclectic affair. A DIY gem, swinging from frisky indie pop (Break up the band) to the Super Furries / Roxy Musicisms of the track we have for you to download. It’s all good though - really excellent mish-mash songwriting a la Fiery Furnaces with no irritating bits.   Download Sorrow’s Well Rehearsed Listen to the demo on...
Junior year of college I assembled a mighty mixtape of Welsh pop music for a final paper in a British Contemporary Culture class. Bands like McLusky, Super Furry Animals and Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci cozied up next to Tom Jones and Charlotte Church. I published it on iTunes and no one but my parents downloaded it. They loved it! Had I heard the 60s psych pop of El Goodo at the time however,...

This past weekend brought the second festival of 2009 for Another Form of Relief. It was a local festival, but one that I never intended on going to given it’s ludicrous £125 ticket cost. Seemingly others thought the same, given ticket sales struggled to such a degree that they were giving £250 of tickets away with £10 items via a clothing store. So, one Kangaroo Poo...
I was happy to hear that Super Furry Animals are coming back with another new album. These guys have made solid music for years now, and I see no reason why their new album should be any different. Today I received an email from Rough Trade Records, and it appears this new album will be available even sooner than I thought- Monday! Here’s what they said: SFA’s brand new album...

SUPER FURRY ANIMALS Reviews

There were a few things missing from the Super Furry Animals gig at Somerset House on Saturday. The first and most obvious one for me was Mrs Growl. This was notable, because in all the many, many times I’ve seen the Super Furries in the past 12 years, the constant factor was the woman who is now my wife. She had already seen them several times before we met, and as we bonded over a shared...
Band name: Slow Club, The Patty Winters Show, The Cribs and more Label: verious indie schmindies Teaser: The Patty Winters Show take first prize this week, as Cindy Suzuki hails the children of the revolution in her round up of the week’s singles… Pull quote 2: Riot In Belgium have thrown together a rubber stretching dancefloor grinder that might just ease...
Super Furry Animals “Inaugural Trams” I want to believe that this song exists because at least one member of the Super Furry Animals became obsessed with the word “trams,” and went out of his way to make sure that he could have the opportunity to say “trams” over and over in a song. Obviously, the sorta Krautrock vibe and campy German language interlude...
Band name: Ankst Musik Label: Ankst Musik Teaser: The Ankst record label has been releasing Welsh language alternative music for donkeys years, and this collection contains the best bits from 1998-2008. Ranging from militant hip hop to techno sea shanties, it’s a fascinating guide to the Crymi underground. Ric Rawlins reviews. Pull quote 2: The spirit of anti-...
