History Music / SuperFurryAnimals

* {{Instrumentals}}: "Furryvision" and "Short Painkiller" from ''Radiator'', "Check It Out", "A Specific Ocean", and "The Sound Of Life Today" from ''Guerilla'', "[A] Touch Sensitive" and "Minature" from ''Rings Around The World'', the "Father Father" interludes from ''Phantom Power'', "Oi Frango" from ''Love Kraft'', and many b-sides.

* LongTitle: Their debut EP ''Llanfairpwllgwngyllgogerychwyndrobwllantysiliogogogochynygofod (In Space)'', named after a village in Wales.

Aside from their distinct sound, the group also gained notoriety for their bizarre publicity stunts, such as travelling to festivals in a decomissioned tank (which they then sold off to Don Henley of Music/TheEagles), getting a song that features the word 'fuck' being repeated 50 times into the top 40 (a record which they broke again a few years later), and recording a whole album of songs in their native Welsh. Their record sleeves, mostly designed by Cardiff-based artist Pete Fowler, are equally insane.

Super Furry Animals are a PsychedelicRock band that formed in Cardiff, UsefulNotes/{{Wales}} in 1993. Their music blends elements of rock, psychedelia, electronica, and just about everything else in between, often containing lyrics [[SlidingScaleOfSillinessVersusSeriousness which toe the line between goofy and surreal to deeply profound and philosophical]].

* TheBandMinusTheFace: In 2020, the band - apart from singer Gruff Rhys, who has gone to pursue a solo career - started releasing music under the moniker Das Koolies, a name they previously used for an unreleased album recorded between ''mwng'' and ''Rings Around the World''.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: The band followed up the success of the breakneck-paced, GenreBusting ''Guerrilla'' with... ''mwng'', a modest, folksy collection of Welsh-language songs.
** Design-wise, the band enlisted Japanese surrealist Keiichi Taanami to design the artwork for ''Hey Venus!'' instead of Pete Fowler, which received a mixed reaction from fans and critics. However, much of the negativity towards Taanami's work died down when the two artists collaborated together on the sleeve for ''Dark Days/Light Years''.

* DesignStudentsOrgasm: All of their record sleeves apply.

** ''Phantom Power'' took inspiration from blues and country rock, whilst ''Love Kraft'' was in part a tribute to the early '70s era of Music/TheBeachBoys.

* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: The ''Phantom Power'' era introduced the now iconic "yeti" costumes (see above) worn by the band. The yeti characters were killed off at the end of the album tour, but made a comeback during their 2015-2016 series of shows.
