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 Dark Days/Light Years will be performed in its entirety on Monday March 16th,
at Noon PST/3pm EST/8pm UK time in an exclusive ‘once only screening’ gigcast hosted at superfurry.com
filmed in conjunction with MusicBox, Cardiff, and graduate filmmakers from Central
St Martins College, London.The album is available to buy immediately as a download from the start of the gig on Monday!
They’ve also provided a song as a preview titled “Inaugural Trams,” which I’ve put below. As expected, it’s another great, yet quirky, pop song to add to the collection. Now I have a reason to look forward to Monday…
