Opinan:
The Guardian
SFA have just completed a new album, but play only a handful of new songs
(such as Golden Retriever, a marvellous rock'n'roll romp oddly reminiscent
of Hawkwind, is accompanied by film of said, leaping). Instead, they
contruct a languorous set of gently anthemic ballads. They are simple and
fantastic: elegantly exxentric, lush with soaring trumpets - unique in
British music.

The Times
SFA wear their debt to rock's hairy years with pride. Crucially though,
everything the Welsh quintet does seems to beat with a pure pop heart. The
passing years have lent Gruff Rhys's voice a grainy soulfulness that has
done them no harm. Indeed, their new song, Bleed Forever, would have sounded
comfortable on any album from the Isley Brothers' peak, suggesting that this
is still a band drunk on fresh possibilities.

NME live review
...Then there's the reappearance of Super Furry Animals, playing a set of slow songs to mark their first gig at a sit-down venue. The measured slouch has always been been SFA's best speed, as their fantastic new album 'Phantom Power' proves. Gruff Rhys focuses on a load of old songs, broadly like the new ones. They sound like they're sleepwalking, but in a good way.
