Yes, this is the album artwork for Hey Venus

I love the Super Furry Animals. Guerrilla soundtracked my last trip to New York, and to this day I can’t hear “Wherever I Lay My Phone (That’s My Home)” without mentally jumping back to waiting in a cold subway after midnight. They’re a fantastic band, and they’ve shown that again with Hey Venus!

MP3 LINK: Super Furry Animals – Neo Consumer (download)

I think Super Furry Animals are part of a dying breed. They’re so far out there that it’s difficult to stay on the same page as them. They don’t really write bad songs… just occasionally some very, very weird songs. So if their misses are still fantastic, what does that say about their hits? “Neo Consumer” is a decent example of what happens when all the elements of SFA are in order. It’s not in my top five, but it’s a driving pop song that hits in a all the right ways. Also it reminded me why I occasionally use SFA as a reference to De Novo Dahl. They’re both great pop groups that will leave your head spinning.

Get Hey Venus!
