The Super Furry Animals are amazing, but that’s just an opinion so excuse me for a moment while I come down on you like a ton of facts:

Fact 1: They redefined what modern a guitar band can be and do whilst still constantly bothering the charts.

A chameleonic band who have turned their hand to pretty much every genre of music, their albums have debuted, since Radiator, between numbers four and 11 (and that was for their Welsh language offering, Mwng), which largely proves their ability to get it right every time. Soul, techno, rabble-rousing rock, power balladry, calypso and stoner mong have all featured and have all slammed the bull’s-eye every time. No ‘difficult new direction, we don’t think the public will understand’ for them.
Fact 2: They constantly strive for new levels of perfection and performance.

Fuck your nice lightshow – seven years ago SFA were taking Surround Sound tours around the world to make you piss yourself with excitement and aural enlightenment. And it worked. And it was amazing.

Fact 3: SFA often cause the strangest thing in geek music chats: an entirely positive debate.

Due to their shocking consistency general conversation about this band normally consists of people clamouring to name their best song or album ever. There’s an obscene amount of choice too, is it the whacked-out pop-magic of Radiator, with the manic excellence of ‘Hermann Loves Pauline’, the melancholic beauty of ‘Demons’ and the lonely splendour of ‘Mountain People’? Or try their debut Fuzzy Logic, which defined what British pop could be again with the psychedelic wonder of ‘If You Don’t Want Me To Destroy You’ and the drug-romper stomper ’Something For The Weekend’? Perhaps it’s their 9th and most concise album to date, Hey Venus!
