Check out this Great New CD

By Patrick Daniels

The Super Furry Animals always have something new up their sleeves. The SFA has quite the reputation with 9 full length albums under their belt. They have a great sense of humor and also love to experiment with instruments and new sounds. They can definitely keep the audiences attention and their newest two albums have a different, slower feeling to them. However their Dark Days Light Years touches back to their more playful aspects.

SFA is always looking for a great time it seems like. Dark Days Light Years makes you want to dance. Their music has been through everything it seems like from a range of dance themes to slower ballads and even to folk songs. This new album is more like a collection of singles than a uniform theme but is amazing none the less.

The first song on the CD is Crazy Naked Girls, a psychedelic acid trip that uses the whammy bar as well as it could. The whole album has an interesting mix match of folk and glam songs that don't exactly seem uniform but definitely work for the band. They even use the erhu, which is a two stringed Chinese instrument that is played with a bow and is really cool.

The next track, Moped Eyes, is pure pop. Following this track, SFA gives us a track that lets us know exactly what it feels like to go skiing in Switzerland in the late eighties while wearing bright neon ski bibs. Nick McCarthy, the guitarist from the band Franz Ferdinand, is a guest singer on this track and performs a rap in German! What can we say? SFA never fails to surprise and astound.

Dark Days Light Years is the most dance worthy that SFA has had in a long time. They have a great mix of humor and playfulness that would be a great addition to anyone's collection. Take some time out to experience this band and you won't be sorry! - 18418
