Super Furry Animals Announce New Album Details

January 29, 2009

Super Furry Animals have announced the working tracklisting for their as-yet-untitled new album.

The album will be released digitally via the band's website on March 16th - a month ahead of its physical release.

In a message on their website, the group said the songs were “based around riffs and grooves we've been playing around with over the last few years”.

“We have enough now for a whole album so even though it's still very melodic we thought we could leave off the acoustic ballads for the time being.”

They added: "It's recognisable as a melodic SFA record, but is very focused musically as a cohesive album.”

The album will feature artwork from the band's long-term collaborators Pete Fowler and the Japanese artist Tanaami.

Super Furry Animals promised that they had “some more tricks up their sleeve” for the album, which will be released physically on April 13th.

The current tracklist is:
