I'm now home and in front of my computer, working on translating some old documents, and I decided to turn on Super Furry Animal's "Hey Venus!". It's their latest release, and I must admit that I'm not as familiar with them as I should be. However, I had heard that they have an indie-psychedelic, kinda-funky sound. Keeping in mind that I've never heard any of their previous records, I found little in that description to be true. I hear a very folky, British 60s sound. No psychedelica or funk to it. Very folky structure. And to be honest, the album is likable, but grows a little mundane, like something you've heard before...not that fresh.
I'd put my recommendation at 'check it out if you're looking for something new, but don't expect to be blown away'.
In the coming weeks I'll visit with each of their previous albums (thanks, emusic.com!). And perhaps my opinions will change.
