I've just heard a song called Zoom and it's amazing in a Super Furry way

I've had their Singles Collection since the day it came out, but I've still only listened to it once...

I need to more.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

My knowledge of SFA is really limited, but I'm quite into Welsh bands at the moment. I'll try to look into their new stuff.

 

[zonelistener]

I really want to see them live.

HG... uh, if you can get Songbook Vol. 1 (Singles collection), it's great to start

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Thanks for the tip. I wrote it down so I wouldn't forget.

 

[meegannie]

I've already got tickets.

Anyone hear "love kraft" yet?

 

[Jack In The Box]

I've heard it once, it's good... it sounds like Phantom Power, I mean, it has more folk-psychedelia like Phantom Power but with its own personality

well, I need listen to it more

 

[lazarus]

SFA are Radiohead with a sense of humor. One of the 3 most exciting, vital bands in music right now. Each new release is a potential masterpiece for the ages. Fearless experimenters with an ear for pop gold. How often does that combo come along?

If you don't have Rings Around the World, Guerilla, and Phantom Power, BUY THEM IMMEDIATELY.

Radiator... their best work
