Super Furry Animals Reveal New Album Details

Super Furry Animals have revealed their seventh album will be called ‘Love Kraft’ and will be released this August.

The album was recorded in Cardiff, Rio De Janeiro and Barcelona, and was produced by Beastie Boys collaborator Mario Caldato, reports the NME.

Furries frontman Gruff Rhys said the band consciously tried to not be influenced by their surroundings. He said: “We made a pact not to make a Brazilian-sounding record. There’s nothing worse than a band going to another part of the world and nicking their music.

“We found an old recording desk in Rio that gave everything a really warm sound and we sampled some Brazilian insects, but there’s no samba beats.”

He also revealed that was very uplifting and perhaps their “least poppy” record.

Gruff went on to discuss his favourite tracks, saying: “There’s a cosmic funk song called ‘Laser Beam’, a power ballad called ‘Frequency’ and then there’s ‘Psyclone’, which is a song about a chicken crossing the road and getting hit by a meteorite.”

We can’t wait for it already Gruff!
