Super Furry Animals
Jeremy Gluck, launch.com, Summer 2000
ELECTRIC, ECCENTRIC and fiercely nationalist, Wales' Super Furry Animals – comprising Gruff Rhys (vocals, guitars); Dafydd Ieuan (drums); Cian Ciaran (keyboards); Guto Pryce (bass); and Huw Bunford (guitars) – are one of a handful Welsh bands to really matter in the new century.
