Roedd hynny'r hen fand o Huw Bunford, guitarist yn Super Furry Animals, pan oedd e'n ifanc ac yn yr ysgol. Dyma eu sengl ar gyfer Ankst Records, yn 1988. Wnaeth Emyr Glyn Williams, sylfanydd Ankst Records farw yn gynharach yr wythnos hon, so ro'n i'n gwrando ar y bandiau sy wedi recordio ar Ankst.

This is gonna be an odd pick, but another one of me gushing about welsh boys in bands: Gruff Rhys from Super Furry Animals. He was REALLY cute in the 90’s!

Very much so!

So far the chances of him making it into the upcoming tournament are kind of slim, but he deserves a shout-out for sure!

HONORABLE MENTION

"Best Mindfuck Yet" by Das Koolies

DV:

By far the oldest song we've ever included in SOTY and not one I wanted to bend the rules to add to the list proper, "Best Mindfuck Yet" is also too good to let pass unacknowledged. I say "oldest" because this was a set-closer for Super Furry Animals back in 2001-2002, and I first heard it as a bootleg not long after. But then SFA went back to using "The Man Don't Give a Fuck" as their closer and then they broke up, and it seemed like this would wind up in the same dustbin as songs like "Head First" or never-completed side projects with names like, well, "Das Koolies."

Yet here we two decades later and not only is Das Koolies (all of SFA except Gruff Rhys) now a real group that released an album, they included a pared down version of "Best Mindfuck Yet" on it. The surprising thing to me is that even after all this time, and even stripped of about half the chaos that live version had it still works - anchored by both a hell of a sample in the title and by Cian Ciaran's basic track, which pares things down to the foundation from the turn of the century, while the live instrumentation maintains enough of the anarchy and squelch of the original to still sound wild.

What's interesting about the song, beyond its status as an idiosyncratic banger, is its liminal status. This isn't quite "Best Mindfuck Yet (Das Koolies Version)", because there never was a SFA release for it to replace. It's not quite a "From the Vault" style bonus track, because there was a live version that got bootlegged multiple times and has been widely circulated. And it's also not quite a "performed by the original recording artist" redo that bands have released since at least the 1970s, because as much as Das Koolies are targeting SFA fans, no one's really pretending it's by the "original artist." Yet "Best Mindfuck Yet" is also to some extent comparable to each of these things, even if it's also something entirely different and perhaps unique - a best mindfuck yet in both form and function, which is probably the most SFA-esque thing about it. Whatever it might be, I'm glad to have a fully mastered version of a banger I've enjoyed for most of my life, even if I do wish Das Koolies had fully committed and dropped a fifteen-minute-full-chaos version to outdo the live bootlegs. And ultimately I'm thankful to "Best Mindfuck Yet" for clarifying at least one question, if there was any doubt: Super Furry Animals were absolutely a jam band.

10/8/23.

Every once in a while I'll come across a best of compilation of a band I'd never heard of. The Loves "True Love - The Most of The Loves" is just such an example.

The Loves are based in Cardiff, Wales and have been active since the early 2000s. Given my love of Super Furry Animals, and Gorky's Zygotic Mynci I would have thought I would have at least heard of this band.

The Bandcamp page states that Huw Stephens (BBC session producer for Standard Fare) called The Loves "the indie-est band in the world". Besides Super Furry Animals, I can hear early Wilco, The Aislers Set and Saturday Looks Good To Me.

This is being released by Cardiff based label Daytrip Records.

This Is The Kit & Gruff Rhys Live Show Review: 10/19, Lincoln Hall, Chicago

This Is The Kit's Kate Stables

BY JORDAN MAINZER

On This Is The Kit's latest album Careful Of Your Keepers (Rough Trade), Kate Stables asks many questions without expecting answers to all of them. "When are we gonna get there, when are they?" "If we're holding hands, will we walk at the same speed?" "Boy, I'm talking to you, are you listening?" Okay, maybe that last one is easy (he's definitely not listening), but for the most part, Stables' philosophical quandaries and mantra-like repetitions are metaphors for the uneasy and paradoxical nature of relationships and time. "This is a how shit is this measuring stick," she sings, tongue twisted, on album opener "Goodbye Bite", having difficulty pinpointing exact beginning and ending points of certain eras in her life. If vagaries are the name of the game for This Is The Kit, the band's live performance last Thursday at Lincoln Hall brought to life, via instrumentation, Stables' gently agitated state.

This Is The Kit's Stables and Rozi Plain

Take "Goodbye Bite", and its concoction of sinewy guitars, bass, synth, and woodwinds: When you're listening to it, it feels like it's encircling your brain, threatening to wedge its way in. Stables, bassist Rozi Plain, guitarist Neil Smith, and drummer Lucien Chatin made sure it finally did when presented live, with a looser structure. Holding it all together, though, was Stables' voice, smoky in contrast to the wiry guitars of "Slider", seeming like it wanted to leap off the page on "Stuck in a Room", a song about wanting to leave where you are but having to stay. Stables' deft delivery sported the stamina of an MC, but over the band's taut music, it sounded like it was bursting at the seams. The elastic-rigid dynamic made its way to even old songs, like on the interplay between Stables' spritely banjo and Chatin's controlled toms on "Bullet Proof".

This Is The Kit

I should emphasize one more time: Just because Stables--and really, almost all people--has trouble quantifying abstractions like time, doesn't mean the band can't show off their tightness. On the Nick Drake lilt of "This Is When The Sky Gets Big", Stables and Plain staggered their harmonies to stunning effect. "Inside Outside" captivated with a jazzy groove. Really, the main image on "Scabby Head and Legs", that of a pigeon who holds eggs too tight and breaks them, seems like a warning signal for the band itself, who instead follow Stables' repeated advice of "cutting once, measuring twice." Yet, they break the rules when they want to, as long as they know that they're breaking the rules. Or, as Stables sings on "Dibs", "Let's pretend to not know that we're out of time."

Gruff Rhys

Though This Is The Kit's growth is certainly organic, enlisting Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals as producer on Careful Of Your Keepers is as natural a match as I can remember in recent memory, his experimental whimsy bringing out just enough circular strangeness to the band's sound. Lucky for us, Rhys gave an opening set on Thursday, which meant that he did come out to do backing vocals on a couple TITK songs like on the record. It also meant we got to hear some unreleased songs from his upcoming album Sadness Sets Me Free, the title track, "Bad Friend", and the already released "Celestial Candyfloss" among them. That Rhys played mostly an acoustic set meant he didn't give away what the new songs sound like on record. For one, he admitted to not knowing them very well. The finger-picked guitars on "Celestial Candyfloss" are totally overshadowed by the orchestral chamber pop of the studio version. Sure, some back catalog highlights, like "Lonesome Words" and the metronome-laden "If We Were Words (We Would Rhyme)", were not far cries from their respective studio versions. But Rhys was able to play with volume and his ever-changing distance from the microphone to create a sonic spaciousness on "Pang!" and the melancholy hum of "Shark Ridden Waters". Best, these versions may eventually see the light of day, as Rhys claimed he was recording for a live album, as he held up title cards to a surprisingly sparse crowd that said things like, "Generic audience reaction" so we knew when to cheer. He didn't have to, though. Those of us who were there knew it wouldn't be every day we'd be able to witness two forcefully creative entities on the same night: Our cheers were constant.
