Description

The Welsh psychedelic pop legends Super Furry Animals return with 'Dark Days/Light Years', their ninth studio album. Where previous albums have seen the band experiment with extra instrumentation, this release is full of songs based on grooves rather than ensemble composition. The band's impish sense of humour remains, though, with track titles such as 'The Very Best Of Neil Diamond' and 'Moped Eyes' standing out. Also notable is Franz Ferdinand guitarist Nick McCarthy's guest appearance on the Kraftwerk-inspired 'Inaugural Trams', performing a German-language rap. In keeping with more recent albums, the band also share lead vocal duties between several members.

Press Reviews

4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he album is a kaleidoscopic montage of stitched-together riffs and motorik propulsion, sometimes sprawling in execution but exhilarating in its reach and reckless abandon. Alternative Press (p.109)

Full of paradoxes and loving parodies, honeyed psych-pop harmonies and shaggy vamps....The results are as free-wheeling and inspired as the group has sounded in years... Pitchfork (Website)

4 stars out of 5 -- "The epic 'Cardiff In The Sun' is optimism writ large in a soaring paean to a beautiful city....It's the centerpiece to the closes SFA have come to producing a perfectly realised album. Record Collector (magazine) (p.94)

...the charm here is in hearing a veteran band who still really enjoy the process of getting in a studio and playing music together. And it's great, still Uncut
