SUPER FURRY ANIMALS MP3s

Montage Populaire
Montage Populaire’s demo is an inventive, eclectic affair. A DIY gem, swinging from frisky indie pop (Break up the band) to the Super Furries / Roxy Musicisms of the track we have for you to download. It’s all good though - really excellent mish-mash songwriting a la Fiery Furnaces with no irritating bits. <!--break-->   Download Sorrow’s Well Rehearsed Listen...
El Goodo - Be My Girl + Feel So Fine
Junior year of college I assembled a mighty mixtape of Welsh pop music for a final paper in a British Contemporary Culture class. Bands like McLusky, Super Furry Animals and Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci cozied up next to Tom Jones and Charlotte Church. I published it on iTunes and no one but my parents downloaded it. They loved it! Had I heard the 60s psych pop of El Goodo at the time however,...

Hop Farm Festival 2009: A Review
This past weekend brought the second festival of 2009 for Another Form of Relief. It was a local festival, but one that I never intended on going to given it’s ludicrous £125 ticket cost. Seemingly others thought the same, given ticket sales struggled to such a degree that they were giving £250 of tickets away with £10 items via a clothing store. So, one Kangaroo Poo...
New Super Furry Animals coming very soon…
I was happy to hear that Super Furry Animals are coming back with another new album. These guys have made solid music for years now, and I see no reason why their new album should be any different. Today I received an email from Rough Trade Records, and it appears this new album will be available even sooner than I thought- Monday! Here’s what they said: SFA’s brand new album...

SUPER FURRY ANIMALS Reviews

Super Furry Animals @ Somerset House, 18 July 2009
There were a few things missing from the Super Furry Animals gig at Somerset House on Saturday. The first and most obvious one for me was Mrs Growl. This was notable, because in all the many, many times I’ve seen the Super Furries in the past 12 years, the constant factor was the woman who is now my wife. She had already seen them several times before we met, and as we bonded over a shared...

A Room Full Of Perfect Looks
Super Furry Animals “Inaugural Trams” I want to believe that this song exists because at least one member of the Super Furry Animals became obsessed with the word “trams,” and went out of his way to make sure that he could have the opportunity to say “trams” over and over in a song. Obviously, the sorta Krautrock vibe and campy German language interlude...
