Super Furry Animals to release new music

The band will release Bing Bong, their first recorded output in 7 years, on 13 May

Welsh alt-rock oddballs Super Furry Animals have announced that they are set to release their first music in 7 years this month. The band’s original line-up Huw ‘Bunf’ Bunford, Cian Ciarán, Dafydd Ieuan, Gruff Rhys and Guto Pryce all feature on the song which will be titled Bing Bong.

The last we heard from the band was 2009’s Dark Days/Light Years and now, apparently inspired the rise of the Welsh football team the band are planning to release a song of encouragement as the players enter this year’s Euro tournament.

“Let’s come together this summer, in song and let that song be BING BONG. Please await further transmissions.” The band have said in a statement.

Await we shall, but in the meantime you can revisit our recent feature with Gruff Rhys right here.
