The Super Furry Animals are no strangers to Somerset - they have headlined the Other Stage at Glastonbury in the past.

Their gig at the Palace on Saturday 10 September is a 400-ticket show and is a tiny warm-up concert before they headline another festival, Bestival, the next day.

bbc.co.uk/wales heaps on the praise: "The most creative of the contemporary Welsh bands, SFA consistently blend classic songwriting with often breathtaking experimentation.

"Causing a quiet revolution can't be easy, but SFA have all but managed it without ever breaking through to the musical mainstream.

"And since their formation in the early 90s, the Super Furry legend has become something of a cliché: the blue techno tank, the 40ft inflatable bears, the record-breaking debut release, the song with that title.

"But that's doing lazy justice to their undoubted genius, for they're simply one of the most exciting and innovative groups to have ever emerged in Wales."

Love Kraft

Recorded in Barcelona, Rio De Janeiro and Cardiff, SFA's new album, is released on 22 August.

Gruff Rhys (SFA's lead singer and songwriter) describes Love Kraft as "a silver cigar-shape spacecraft".

"It's our epic record. It's the most orchestral record we've done, but it's still very much the sound of a band in a room together."
