Again, a new discovery for me. Great stylistic variety.
Pretty annoying pop-rock trying to be innovative mixing different bits (in both sense) but failing to produce anything much interesting to listen to. Sometimes it's even painful when they take out brass instruments and mellow singing. There are few interesting parts, but not enough to grab my attention. And it's long and sometimes pompous.
I think that this another case of mistaken identity. I assumed that Super Furry Animals were a novelty kids band, like the Wombles. However, they turn out to be a sort of Welsh psychedelic, shoe gazy, dubstep version of the Beach Boys with songs morphing from mellow piano introductions into glitchy electronica without pausing for breath. One track even features Paul McCartney chewing celery in the background. Enjoyably bonkers!
