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.

I also think he has the most distinguished look of anyone in the band at the moment. That graying beard is awesome.

Juxtapozed... Maybe Walk You Home. I really like his bass on Drawing Rings Around the World and Moped Eyes, of course.

Alright then, in honour of Guto, what Furries song has the best bass in it?

And his hand looks like a centipede effortlessly moving up and down the neck.

Who sings "Never More," Daf? Maybe Guto does secret vocals on tracks. I know he did the weird noises on "Tradewinds." He's a really nice guy. I like giving him credit. Really, how often do you hear about SFA's basslines? And it's not cuz I'm just being weird... I hear his stuff, and I love it.

Gruff's voice is more assertive than Cian's, because I'd like to think of it as Cian just assisting in the background as well.

And I repeat my assertion on the board; Guto IS God.

Yeah, I tend to think of Download as a Gruff-vocaled song backed by Cian, but that just shows my Gruff bias :-) It's a duet really. What I was talking about was the first time you hear any of the others sing lead on their own. Which I reckon would be Chewing Chewing Gum right? (Well, not exactly lead but they're definitely not backing vocals.) That's a great song to try and identify their voices... The deep voice on 'Walk You Home' I would say is definitely Daf. At the same time in the backing vocals Gruff is doing a falsetto and seems to be panned more to the left I think. Gawd, I know all the technical terms ;-)

I just listened to Download and Cian's vocals are hard panned to the left and Gruff's to the right.

Agreed. So it shouldn't be so much a surprise that people have said that about the three albums I mentioned earlier, especially when Sean O'Hagan was basically the unofficial member at that point. But yeah, SFA culls its influences from other directions as well. Calling them modern-day Beatles is pretty safe, but more than a little lazy. But at the same time, they sound most like themselves. They are able to blend more divergent sounds better than nearly any other band I've listened to extensively, which is no easy task. They've created their own sound.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPPq_Cdarig&feature=related. There's no way one can listen to this and not hear "Atomik Lust." You can also hear traces of "Ohio Heat." The sounds from Love Kraft aren't derivative, but they are definitely accentuated from Surf's Up.
-
sdl1986 escreveu:
No, I know about stuff like that. But their influences are manifold. I don't think that The Beach Boys are their only antecedent. Any band that works in complex pop music is going to be influenced by Brian Wilson's compositions. The High Llamas, who work closely with SFA, are much more Beach Boys derivative.
-
hotterthanjuly escreveu:
It's not the music, it's the harmonies. The influence is so obvious. But there are songs from Love Kraft that undeniably sound inspired by The Beach Boys' Surf's Up, which is reportedly the band's favorite album, and Dennis Wilson's Pacific Ocean Blue.
-
sdl1986 escreveu:
They really don't sound anything like The Beach Boys. I'm a huge fan. I wouldn't be ashamed to admit it if they did. There's MUCH more derivative bands out there. Cian kind of reminds me of Dennis Wilson, though.
-
hotterthanjuly escreveu:
Yeah, definitely Cian in "Download." HIs voice sounds especially younger, understandable considering he was only around 21 when Radiator was released.
-
hotterthanjuly escreveu:
I find it odd that some people have worried about SFA turning into a Beach Boys tribute band the last few albums, particularly Phantom Power, Love Kraft and Hey Venus! There is just as much of that influence to be found on Radiator and no one said anything then.

His movie premieres tonight. I can't wait to hear about it...

Thanks for the new Gruff track. I'll be sure to check it out later.

Those "other" vocals are part of the band's appeal to me. I always feel like there's something buried a little deeper that I'm not going to hear until I pay closer attention. I seriously didn't even hear some of the harmonies on Phantom Power for the longest time. I think one of my favorite things on Phantom Power are those "ahhhh ahhhh ahhhhhhs" in Venus and Serena that almost sound like they're reversed. SFA are definitely studio experts. That's probably where a lot of the techno background steps in aside from the obvious electronic tracks.
