The Super, Furry, And Welsh Animals Are Coming!

Everybody’s favorite easy-listening, techno, fuzz-rock, psychedelic, super, Welsh, freakout, furry, sunshine pop band will tour the states come January in support of their eighth full-length, Hey Venus!. That Super Furry Animals have been pumping out a signature brand of kitchen-sink pop for more than 10 years is impressive in itself, but even more so is that their collected output has maintained such a high quality level. Each SFA album, including the Welsh-only LP (Mwng), sounds exactly like an SFA album. Having much to do with the alternating bored-lounge-singer-croon/daydream-pop-falsetto of Gruff Ryhs — who is distinctively super furry — Super Furry Animals are one one of those bands that can completely eclipse influences and come out sounding like nothing else.

With all that said, however — here’s the real question on everyone’s minds: Where exactly is Wales? Answer: It’s the southwest corner of the island that makes up England.
