Super Furry Animals have told NME that their seventh album will be called 'Love Kraft' and will be released this Aug. The album, recorded in Cardiff, Rio De Janeiro and Barcelona, was produced by Beastie Boys collaborator Mario Caldato.
Frontman
Gruff Rhys said that the band had been determined not to be influenced by their surroundings, saying "We made a pact not to make a Brazilian-sounding record. There's nothing worse than a band going to another part of the world and nicking their music. We found an old recording desk in Rio that gave everything a really warm sound and we sampled some Brazilian insects, but there's no samba beats."
He continued: "There's a cosmic funk song called 'Laser Beam', a power ballad called 'Frequency' and then there's 'Psyclone', which is a song about a chicken crossing the road and getting hit by a meteorite."
