Phantom Power is the sixth album by Welsh indie rock band Super Furry Animals, released on 21 July 2003 by Epic Records in the United Kingdom. The record was originally conceived as a ten-song concept album using D-A-D-D-A-D guitar tuning, but the band chose to abandon this idea during recording as they didn't want to constrain themselves. The group did attempt to create a "more coherent" album than their past efforts by choosing songs which worked well together.
Hey Venus! is the eighth album by Welsh band Super Furry Animals. It was released on 27 August 2007 in the United Kingdom. Hey Venus! is the band's first full-length release on current label Rough Trade Records and, at just over 36 minutes, is also their shortest-running studio release. The title is taken from the first line of the song "Into the Night"
Hey Venus! Super Furry Animals. Released August 27, 2007. Hey Venus! Tracklist. Where did the album title come from? Gruff explained the title’s meaning: A fan of the band gave me a copy of The White Goddess by Robert Graves at a show in Holland a few months back, which is probably why my head was full of goddesses. Label Rough Trade Records. Producer David Newfeld. Writers Super Furry Animals. More Super Furry Animals albums. Dark Days/Light Years. Show all albums by Super Furry Animals.
Hey Venus! Super Furry Animals. Exclusive Prime pricing. Hey Venus! "Please retry". Venus is a good follow-up to Love Kraft, another album that many did not like. Both are excellently crafted sonic experiences. Hey Venus! is supposed to be a loosely based concept album and I get it, but it works for me just as well on a song by song basis, especially since it is so short (36 minutes!). But then again keep most tracks at 4 minutes or well under keeps them from getting old. I get a bit of a retro vibe al la, the Beach Boys and the Beatles, but this is still very much SFA, thank you very much.
The narrative was ditched during the recording as the group culled together 11 songs that hold together as an intensely colorful, insanely catchy pop album.
