My favourite band. And like yer man Owain they can speak Welsh. There is some weird stuff going on at their website http://www.superfurry.com/Looks, and sounds, like they're recording a new album or summink, and are documenting it on the web via the medium of daily looped videos. |

Interesting that on day 5 they used a wah wah pedal - not nearly enough of that in pop music these days for my liking.

I'm a big fan of "Mwng", but it's got to be "Phantom Power" for me

Super Furry Animals are never ones to stay still creatively, and with their forthcoming (currently untitled) 9th studio album they have decided to document the process on 4 individual hand held cameras. But this will be no ordinary 'the making of the album' story; it's a series of Warhol like observations, of a band putting the finishing touches to songs, a celebration of the banal nature of the mixing process. Whole chunks of time seem to vanish at twice the speed over a slow game of darts or the making of a cup of tea as a song is played on repeat 26 times on the mixing console.
Inspired by Mike Figgis's ground breaking film 'Time Code' the episodes will be released in 21 individual episodes starting on the 23rd February, 8p.m.GMT through this site.
'Ah! Greetings friends, join us for the next few weeks as we finish up our new album for your ears. We have borrowed 4 video cameras from friends and family and we will document events as they unfold, hopefully with as little drama as possible.' The Film Council of SFA.

My favourite remains Radiator, but I can find good in all of them. The closing run on that album is very strong indeed, and the times that I have seen them play 'Mountain People' live they have closed it off with a great big fuck off techno section, which is nice.
I have Guerilla down as their weakest effort, FYI.
