Super Furry Animals | Inaugural Trams

Posted on March 10th, 2009 by Panda | No Comments »

Gruff Rhys

If you’re a fan of Super Furry Animals (if you’re not, you really should be), you can hear a new song of theirs over at the BBC Radio 1 site. The song, called Inaugural Trams, is on Colin Murray’s show, and starts around an hour and fifty minutes into the show, if you don’t feel like sitting through the entire thing. Not much to say about the song itself, just another great SFA track (do they make bad ones?), maybe a little more electronic than anything they’ve done recently, unless you count Gruff’s Neon Neon side project. Oh, and Nick McCarthy offers up a verse of German rapping, if for some strange reason you find that appealing. SFA’s new album, Dark Days/Light Years, is out digitally on March 16th, and physically on April 13th, through Rough Trade. The band’s been keeping a video diary of the making of the record, which you can check out at their official site, if you’re so inclined.
