The ninth album from the eccentric Super Furry Animals, Dark Days/Light Years is an up beat synth movement that will surely get you taping your toes and shaking your wagon. This album is heavy on riffs and repetitive lyrics, how ever it never gets monotonous and it leaves you wanting to play the album over to see if you caught everything the first time. Most of the album was created through improvisation which only points out how talented the Super Furry Animals are.
The first track Crazy Naked Girls hits hard on the rythimic beats and then never lets up throughout. The next couple of tracks keeps on moving and lets you wiggle and dance. The single Inaugural Trams is completely at the for front of all music now a days by psychedelic rock bands. It even features rap in German. Flaming Lips eat your heart out, I'm listing to the SFA. While Inagural Trams is my favorite track on this egdy album the next track Inconvenience holds its own and needs to be listened to. Cardiff in the Sun slows it down a little bit but never leaves you uninterested. While the song Very Best of Neil Diamond leaves you feeling like you just came out of a rock concert from india.
Rarely does an album come along where you are dancing in your chair, car, apartment or where ever you maybe until the last track has ended. Where afterwords you want to hit the repeat button again cause you know you found something special. It seems to me that last years album Neon Neon had an overlasting effect on Gruff Rhys, which is outstanding and great news for anyone who enjoys music.
