SUPER FURRY ANIMALS - Hey Venus!
After seven albums and numerous singles pushing the frontiers of sonic density as far as they could go, Hey Venus! finds SFA in a reductive mood. Gone for the most part are the techno flair and odd left turns that made their discography such an unpredictable listen. What remains, happily, is the band's unfailing way with melody and harmony. With Broken Social Scene producer David Newfeld at the helm, the Furries finally leave the songs relatively unadorned. The result? A 36-minute sunny stroll on a beach crawling with the occasional rainbow crab or talking seagull to keep you on your toes.
