Mojo

The rehearsal-room feel of Mwng succeeds in capturing the organic, woody, mystical atmosphere that was sometimes missing from its highly-polished, heavily-digitised predecessors. ...more

Yahoo! Music

The Super Furry Animals have been speaking a different language to the majority of the 'competition' since they emerged in the mid-1990s. On their debut album 'Fuzzy Logic', talk was of alien abductions. They then released 'The Man Don't Give A ...more

Q Magazine

At its best, this is strangely charming, chiming pop music with a twist. At other times, the bare-boned production hampers the inventiveness, rendering a track such as Y Teimlad (The Feeling) a workmanlike Velvet Underground retread rather than the thing ...more

Sonicnet

Horns, keyboards and acoustic guitars dominate the 10 tracks here, with an overall live sound that steers clear of the studio effects the band embraced with their last release, Guerrilla. ...more

Dot Music

Nude As The News

Mwng fits right in with their unique vision, and shows that the band can happily and productively work outside of the traditional bounds of the music industry. ...more

In a world where a cheap squirt of brass is enough to equal "a new direction", the Super Furries' free-range ideas-farming is a vital antidote to the preservative-pumped junk that curdles music's bloodflow. ...more

Pitchfork

A charming batch of stripped-down rock songs that isn't as fully realized or inventive as last year's Guerrilla, but still makes a damned enjoyable listen. ...more

Drowned In Sound

Although they'd been around for a couple albums and numerous singles previous, I didn't really hear much of the Super Furry Animals until I picked up their album Guerrilla and it rocked my noodle with a weird slapdash combination of genres and some ...more

Almost Cool

Rolling Stone

In an era of cloned commercialism, it takes guts for a band to cultivate a distinct identity, let alone record its fourth album entirely in a dying language. Super Furry Animals specialize in that kind of gumption, but unlike many gallant kooks, ...more

Rolling Stone

Minimizing their usual production trickery in favor of live-in-the-studio ensemble thrust, these merry pranksters swim in classic-psychedelia grooves while offering oodles of art-rock allusion. ...more
