The new song sounds great, though it also sounds a lot less like SFA than Neon Neon. Heavy on the synths and loping beats/melodies. Lots of filtered, '80-style vocals and those weird overdubbed vocal/sound effect asides which comment/play on the song, while it's going, which the band and Gruff have been quite fond of, since
Rings Around the Motherfucking World. See "Sidewalk Serfer Girl" and "I Told Her on Alderaan," should you demand examples. It also features a German rap by one of the dudes in Franz Ferdinand (Nick McCarthy). You can dl it for free, from the band's website:
Super Furry Animals

Okay, then. Nobody has any excuse not to tune in, tomorrow! Jesus, I can't wait. I am having an "SFA OK SUARÈ," with a couple of friends, once everybody's home from work. We will celebrate all things super, furry, and animalistic...and then we'll watch Steve-O, on
Dancing With the Stars. Sigh. Really, I cannot wait.
