Dark Days / Light Years [Vinyl]

Rough Trade Records are delighted to announce that Super Furry Animals are currently hard at work on the 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 recognizable as a melodic SFA record, but is very focued 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 cohort Pete Fowler will combine with legendary Japanese artist Tanaami for the album artwork, which is sure to result in a feast for the eyes. Super Furry Animals have some more tricks up their sleeve which we will be announcing a little closer to the release date.
Double LP includes MP3 download.
