SFA kraft the love
Super Furry Animals' new album is to be called Love Kraft, and will be released in August.
It was recorded in Barcelona, Rio De Janeiro and Cardiff. Gruff Rhys describes it as "a silver cigar-shape space craft. It's our epic record. It's the most orchestral record we've done, but it's still very much the sound of a band in a room together."
As with 2003's Phantom Power, the album was produced by Mario Caldato Jr. Mixing took place in Caldato's native Brazil, following sessions in Spain.
"We made a pact not to make a Brazilian sounding record," Rhys told NME.com. "There's nothing worse then 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 are no Samba beats. It's very uplifting, but also our least poppy record. It's more textured and atmospheric."
Vocal duties on the new album are shared between the band, with Daf, Cian and Bunf taking lead vocals on some songs. Song titles include Atomic Lust, Laser Beam, Frequency and Psyclone. Rhys describes the latter as "a song about a chicken crossing the road and getting hit by a meterorite. It didn't look up, and that's the moral of the song."
