New Cd:Super Furry Animals - Dark Knights Light Years super furry animals
You never really know what to expect with the Super Furry Animals. With nine previous full length albums, Welsh band the Super Furry Animals have quite the reputation behind them. With a kinky sense of humor, constant experiments with extra instrumentation, and unswerving funkadelic pop sound, whatever the SFA churns out is usually sure to at least keep your attention! The SFA's last two albums they have released have had a much slower feel to them, but Dark Days Light Years goes back to their more playful roots.
Dark Days Light Years is very dance-worthy, and instead of being very structured, like their last album Hey Venus!, Dark Days Light Years has a much more relaxed, capricious, and even silly feel to it! As usual, the Super Furry Animals employ a broad range of instruments and styles. Instead of having a unifying theme or mood overall, the album skips around, offering your crazy dance themes, perfect pop anthems, slower ballads, and even a folk song! Some people have said that the album is simply a hodgepodge of tracks, but others have described it as a really great collection of singles. SFA is giving us a different way to look at the idea of an album. As usual, they refuse to limit themselves, delving into almost every style imaginable.
SFA is so unique they even use a erhu which is a two stringed Chinese instrument that is played with a bow. It is really cool how their entire album is more of a mix match of songs and themes. They have everything from glam to even folk songs which is amazing and definitely works for them and their style.
The next track, Moped Eyes, is pure pop. Following this track, SFA gives us a track that lets us know exactly what it feels like to go skiing in Switzerland in the late eighties while wearing bright neon ski bibs. Nick McCarthy, the guitarist from the band Franz Ferdinand, is a guest singer on this track and performs a rap in German! What can we say? SFA never fails to surprise and astound.
If you take the time to listen to this album you definitely won't be sorry that you did! Their new Dark Days Light Years is amazing and makes you just want to get up and dance. They have a great mix of humor throughout the album (and their entire career) and they leave fans wanting more. - 18423
