New Super Furry Animals cd coming soon.

[Swish]

Dark Days/Light Years will be released on May 26th, and I'm certainly going to buy it, but the 'pre-release' price on Amazon is $23.98, or about double the price of most new stuff, but I also found it on DeepDiscount.com for 'only' $18.70 with free shipping available. This one is supposedly reminiscent of 'Rings Around the World', and that's a very good thing as I wasn't a big fan of anything they released since this most excellent record back in 2001. The DVD is nothing short of awesome too.

Here is a short review that appeared on Amazon:

2009 album from the Welsh Psychedelic Pop legends, their ninth studio album. Where previous albums have seen the band experiment with extra instrumentation, this release is full of songs based on grooves rather than ensemble composition. The band's impish sense of humor remains, though, with track titles such as 'The Very Best Of Neil Diamond' and 'Moped Eyes' standing out. Also notable is Franz Ferdinand guitarist Nick McCarthy's guest appearance on the Kraftwerk-inspired 'Inaugural Trams', performing a German-language rap. In keeping with more recent albums, the band also share lead vocal duties between several members. 12 tracks. Rough Trade
