SUPER FURRY ANIMALS- Phantom Power
Now with six gloriously lush pop records to their instantly recognizable name, Wales' favorite sons (Tom Jones is by now more of a father figure), Super Furry Animals, return with another stellar set of mellow ballads. The perfect record to take things down a notch without lapsing into the turgid inertia of generic 60s tinged Beatledom, Phantom Power effortlessly shimmers with light touches of the so-called mature instruments: pedal steel, pianos and acoustic guitars. Standouts include Golden Retriever, Venus & Serena and Bleed Forever, conjuring up a dark folk vibe perfect for opium den crawls (or for safe domestic consumption, too). We recommend!
