Hey Venus!

Super Furry Animals

A concise explosion of technicolor pop. Orchestral arrangements meet 60s harmonies in a tight, joyful record that swaps glitchy electronics for pure melody.

August 27, 2007 · Rough Trade Japan

A radiant, technicolor celebration of classic pop songwriting with a surrealist Welsh twist.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive, brass-led chorus of 'Run-Away' that feels like a lost Motown hit.
The shift into cosmic, string-laden melancholy during the bridge of 'Carbon Dating'.
The way 'Battersea Odyssey' builds from a gentle piano melody into a sweeping cinematic climax.
