{"product_id":"dark-days-light-years","title":"Dark Days\/Light Years","description":"Veteran Welsh psych-pop eccentrics Super Furry Animals have regularly pushed the margins of the post-alternative vanguard on eight studio albums that have confounded even the most fervent acolytes of musical experimentation. Willfully positioning themselves as outsiders with their Welsh-language lyrics and irreverent mash-up of styles, SFA's brand of schizoid neo-psychedelia enjoyed cult adoration but modest mainstream success. The group's ninth album, DARK DAYS\/LIGHT YEARS, may fare better in the post-everything millennial pop reality. A departure from the lush, orchestral pop of their previous two albums, the album occupies a sonic universe located somewhere between lysergic yacht rock, glam rave-ups, and synth-fueled electronica. The Zep-like swagger of the opening track, \"Crazy Naked Girls,\" sets the album's buoyant, electrified tone, with singer Gruff Rhys wailing away in a convincing Robert Plant-like manner over a wall of wah-guitar bombast. Elsewhere, \"Moped Eyes\" shows a bit more restraint, recalling smooth AOR\/MOR harmonies without sounding overly kitschy or schmaltzy. Other tracks like the sweeping synth-fueled motorik of \"Inaugural Trams\" are practically an ode to the sleek Teutonic efficiency of bands like Neu! and Kraftwerk.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48521427616031,"sku":"883870054621","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/e09cc2c7ae5afe34a7cfe9b2f1a440b4.jpg?v=1777898410","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/dark-days-light-years","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
