Super Furry Animals is a Welsh rock band formed in 1993. Known for their psychedelic rock and electronic experimentation, the band consists of Gruff Rhys, Huw Bunford, Cian Ciáran, Guto Pryce, and Dafydd Ieuan.

With their unique blend of genres and innovative soundscapes, Super Furry Animals have carved out a distinct place in the music industry. Their captivating performances and thought-provoking lyrics have garnered them a dedicated fan base worldwide.

From their early beginnings to their continued success today, Super Furry Animals continue to push boundaries and challenge musical conventions. With each album release, they showcase their artistic growth and evolution while staying true to their roots.

returning to the kraut / psych / rock vibes of their early years, this album is a glorious technicolour journey into the mind of super furry animals, jam packed into 59 minutes of acidic pop genius. this is the super furries' ninth studio album, but it has more spark and invention than most teen bands manage on their debuts. 'dark days / light years' is their finest collection since 2003's 'phantom power', a purple patch perhaps inspired by the band members' dalliances in various solo projects: neon neon, candylion, the peth and acid casuals. at their best, they find the interface between exotic, arcane sounds and rich tunes; 'crazy naked girls' is a perfect nexus of melody and odd falsetto funk. the band find joy in repetition - as ever - in psych-rocker 'prijk'. elsewhere, nick mccarthy from franz ferdinand raps in german over 'inaugural trams', which has the buoyancy of a twisted kids' tv theme. and, to further recommend it, there's a track called 'the very best of neil diamond'.
