Well… I wonder how many corporate-firewalls have blocked THAT title…
The Super Furry Animals have decided to document the process of making their currently untitled 9th album 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 (which is very good) the episodes will be released in 21 individual episodes starting on the 23rd February, through the bands own website / podcast series.
‘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.
