Super Furry Animals: Gruff Rhys (vocals, guitar); Huw "Bunf" Bunford (guitar); Cian Ciaran (keyboards); Guto Pryce (bass); Dafydd Leuan (drums).
Super Furry Animals' debut, FUZZY LOGIC, introduced the Welsh quintet's willfully idiosyncratic sensibility, catchy songcraft, and genre-synthesizing rock in grand style. While the band's ambition is sometimes a liability, it is hard not to be intoxicated by the musical merry-go-round here, from the hard-driving punk-pop of "God! Show Me Magic" to the expansive psych-lounge vibe of "Mario Man." Crunching guitars, keyboard flourishes, and lushly layered harmonies combine to create a surreal, dynamically diverse, and totally engaging set.
The Super Furries include among their touchstones late-'60s psychedelia ("Fuzzy Birds"), surging punk ("Frisbee"), arty Britpop a la the Kinks ("Hometown Unicorn"), and tongue-in-cheek anthems ("If You Don't Want Me to Destroy You"). Often the group will mix these elements within a single song, as on the alternately jittery and sweepingly melodic pop gem "Something 4 the Weekend." SFA would go on to release albums even more eclectic than FUZZY LOGIC, but the hooks, energy, and freewheeling fun of this record still make it one of their best.
