Super Furry Animals are currently hard at work on their 9th studio album in Cardiff.
Currently with a tracklisting but without a title the band promise; “Musically it’s based around riffs and grooves we’ve been playing around with over the last few years. We have enough now for a whole album so even though it’s still very melodic we thought we could leave off the acoustic ballads for the time being.”
“It’s recognisable as a melodic SFA record, but is very focused musically as a cohesive album. And no country rock as Daf has developed a pedal steel phobia. Which has confined the great Nashvillian instrument along with the Saxophone to the banned instrument directive of the SFA board. There’s only one slow number which isn’t slow at all.”
Longtime cohorts Pete Fowler will combine with legendary Japanese artist Tanaami for the album artwork.
The album is due for digital release on the 16th March via the bands own website (www.superfurry.com), the physical following on the 13th of April on Rough Trade Records.
Super Furry Animals have some more tricks up their sleeve which will be announced a little closer to the release date – watch this space for more information!
