Conhecida por seu indie-pop-rock, pelos discos sempre elogiados e pelo sucesso da música “Hello Sunshine”, a banda Super Furry Animals, também popular como “SFA”, the “Furries” ou “Super Furries”, lança agora seu oitavo disco, Hey Venus!. Formado em 1993, na cidade de Cardiff, o grupo conta com Gruff Rhys (vocal principal e guitarra), Huw “Bunf” Bunford (guitarra e vocais), Guto Pryce (baixo), Cian Ciaran (teclados, sintetizadores, guitarras, vocais e outros instrumentos eletrônicos) e Dafydd Ieuan (irmão de Cian, responsável pela bateria e pelos vocais).
Antes de formarem a banda, todos os integrantes já haviam ganhado certa notoriedade no cenário musical do país por participarem de outros projetos – o próprio Gruff Rhys fazia parte do Emily e do Ffa Coffi Pawb.
Juntos, resolveram chamar a banda de Super Furry Animals, pois a irmã de Gruff fazia camisetas para o Acid Casuals, um grupo de moda, e, em algumas delas, a tal frase vinha estampada. O SFA é um dos precursores do estilo post-alternative rock e um dos líderes do movimento da cena rock do País de Gales, que ocorreu em meados dos anos 90. No caldeirão de sons do grupo, os ingredientes são variados: punk rock, power pop, indie rock, rock progressivo e até mesmo tecno. Tudo isso, misturado ao talento musical dos membros da banda, resulta muitas vezes em canções com um toque de dream pop e letras com inclinações esquerdistas.
As influências dos Beatles são claras, pois o som da banda incorpora diversas características do britpop convencional, sem deixar de carregar generosas doses de psicodelia – traços de David Bowie e Pink Floyd, principalmente, são notáveis.

What I'm trying to say is that if anything, The Flaming Lips are definitely aware of SFA's existence.

I hear SFA came out as yetis during The Flaming Lips' set somewhere one year. Also, SFA are their "new" drummer's favorite band. He's constantly going on about how Rings Around the World is the best album of the decade. SFA even did a Flaming Lips version of "Psyclone!" that I've yet to hear.

The Flaming Lips comparison is lazy. SFA are not the Welsh flaming Lips. If anything in recent years the Flaming Lips have been the American SFA (costume copying for a start).

sorry to intervene, but being from Wales and having heared this band a lot in my younger days (not a fan though sorry!) thought i'd offer an opinion. A lot of people from Wales put their nationality: Welsh. Not British. If they're able to that is. We're not one big happy island I'm afraid!! I'm sure the culture and Welsh language has had a big impact on their upbringing and, thus their music! Gobeithiwn bod hwnna's clirio pethau lan i chi bobl! :)

Welsh bands seem to really get it right when they get it right. Zabrinski, GZM, SFA and those guys Radio Luxembourg seem to be following suit.

hotterthanjuly escreveu:
No, not really unreasonable, just awkward when you consider SFA's cultural heritage. Their Welsh background is a pivotal essence of their whole package. The influences are stamped all over the music and lyrics. It's kind of like labelling Egyptian music African when its sound is too distinct to be put under that umbrella. Even so, Blur, The Beta Band, The Aliens and even The Coral all would have been stronger choices to compare SFA's sound with. Granted, they're all cut from UK cloth, but still.

eh, I still don't think "British Flaming Lips" is unreasonable.

Well Wales is in the UK of course, but I feel most people associate being British specifically with all things English, which isn't the case with SFA. Their Welsh background contributes a vital element to their music that must be noted. Sam should have been specific to avoid this confusion. I also have a slight preference to Hey Venus! His review is positive for the most part, but it's still inadequate and misinformed overall. But still, the whole "return to form" thing is one of the most irritating cliches in the music journalism vernacular, and it certainly doesn't apply to band as consistently brilliant as SFA. Sure, each band obviously has much admiration for the other, but on record, they are on separate planes. The comparison made in the review was an overreach. Gorky's Zygotic Mynci is SFA's obvious kindred spirit band, and not The Flaming Lips.

Wales is in Britain. Regardless of how the Furries may feel about their national identity, it still says British on their passports, so he's not wrong. Sam's review looks alright to me (although personally I prefer Hey Venus to the new one). And yeah, the SFA have nothing in common with Flaming Lips, except both are psychedelic rock/pop bands who dabble with electronics and orchestration and elaborate live shows. Nothing in common at all.

Yeah, they have nothing in common with the Flaming Lips. They're fans of each others. I'd say that's as far as it goes. SFA are a pop band.

hotterthanjuly escreveu:
Not to mention SFA is (obviously) Welsh and not British, and that whole "return to form" bit is yawn-worthy. As if that wildly overused phrase could even begin to apply to a band like SFA, who has never lowered the bar since inception.

The review was confused, contradictory, misguided and ultimately not quite there.

hotterthanjuly escreveu:
Yeah, GodShowMeMagic, that's what I mean by the review. It was a bit too ironic. Percentages and numerical figures shouldn't really be used to determine an album's merit. And besides, they are nothing like The Flaming Lips, so the comparison between the two was dead on arrival.

I absolutely ADORE the Furries but find myself coming and going with the Lips... They just don't move me like SFA do.
-
GodShowMeMagic escreveu:
hotterthanjuly, you made me search out Sam's review on his site. It was very positive... Although the percentage was a little low. Was more shocked about them being the British Flaming Lips, but "nowhere near as good". I like the Flaming Lips, I really do but they don't have the consistency for me that SFA do.

What happened to the SFA Yo Gabba Gabba song? Were they not supposedly writing one?

So, Sam, you love Dark Days/Light Years, yet your review for it earlier this year was a little underwhelming?
