New Super Furry Animals (Feat. Nick McCarthy) - “Inaugural Trams”

SFA have been promising so many things lately: a new album in three days titled Dark Days/Light Years, featuring a collection of “riffs and grooves” with no pedal steel or country rock (Daf is now phobic), zero acoustic ballads (for now), and a song with Franz Ferdinand’s Nick McCarthy on “doing a German rap” (duh). So many of those things come true this morning. German raps may seem an alien choice for this Welsh/Scotch collab, until you dig into “Inaugural Trams” krauty bounce at which point it is clearly the international language of choice.
