Welsh psychedelic wonders Super Furry Animals have confirmed details of their new single ‘Mountain’.
Super Furry Animals are one of Britain’s most underestimated acts. While many cannot see past the novelty aspects of the band – the humour, distinctive visuals – to many they are a pop institution.
Singer Gruff Rhys cut his teeth writing acid soaked folk anthems on the Welsh language scene, before forming Super Furry Animals. Retaining his biting lyrical wit the group expanded their sonic vocabulary to become truly out there.
Super Furry Animals returned earlier this year with their new studio album ‘Dark Days / Light Years’. Typically mind expanding, the release came after a multitude of interviews in which the group seemingly would not tell the truth about their new material.
After threatening to write a song that lasted for 24 hours, Super Furry Animals eventually relented and released another collection of psych-pop nuggets. To read our opinion of ‘Dark Days / Light Years’ just click HERE!
