Super Furry Animals are never ones to stay still creatively, and with their
forthcoming (currently untitled) 9th studio album they have decided to document
the process on 4 individual hand held cameras. But this will be no ordinary 'the
making of the album' story; it's a series of Warhol like observations, of a band
putting the finishing touches to songs, a celebration of the banal nature of the
mixing process. Whole chunks of time seem to vanish at twice the speed over a
slow game of darts or the making of a cup of tea as a song is played on repeat
26 times on the mixing console. 

Inspired by Mike Figgis's ground
breaking film 'Time Code' the episodes will be released in 21 individual
episodes starting on the 23rd February, 8p.m.GMT through the bands own website.

'Ah!
Greetings friends, join us for the next few weeks as we finish up our new album
for your ears. We have borrowed 4 video cameras from friends and family and we
will document events as they unfold, hopefully with as little drama as
possible.' The Film Council of SFA.
 

Digital release 16th March on the band's own website -
www.superfurry.com .. , physical release 13th April on Rough Trade Records,
21st April for U.S. release.

Super Furry Animals are currently hard at work on their 9th studio album in
Cardiff..  Since 2007's 'Hey Venus' the band have been keeping busy
with their various side projects including Daf and Guto's acclaimed
work as part of The Peth with Rhys Ifans, Cian's forthcoming Acid
Casuals release and Som Bom techno nights in London and of course
Gruff's Mercury nominated work with Neon Neon.

Currently with a tracklisting but without a title the band promise;
"Musically it's based around riffs and grooves we've been playing
around with over the last few years. We have enough now for a whole
album so even though it's still very melodic we thought we could
leave off the acoustic ballads for the time being."

"It's recognisable as a melodic SFA record, but is very focused
musically as a cohesive album. And no country rock as Daf has
developed a pedal steel phobia. Which has confined the great
Nashvillian instrument along with the Saxophone to the banned
instrument directive of the SFA board. there's only one slow number
which isn't slow at all."

Longtime cohorts Pete Fowler  will combine with legendary Japanese
artist Tanaami for the album artwork, which is sure to result in a
feast for the eyes.

The album is due for digital release on the 16th March via the bands
own website (www.superfurry.com), the physical following on the 13th
of April on Rough Trade Records.

Super Furry Animals have some more tricks up their sleeve which we
