SUPER Furry Animals are back and will be heading out on tour this autumn with a homecoming performance in Cardiff.

The band will travel across the UK to perform their debut album, Fuzzy Logic and the follow-up Radiator in full, in order and back-to-back.

The tour will be a celebration to mark a brace of re-evaluated, restored and re-issued released which are out on Friday, November 4.

In good news for Furries fans, young, old and in the middle, the band has announced a multi-format reissue of their 1996 debut, Fuzzy Logic on BMG. Twenty years on, high definition, heavyweight vinyl, CD and digital releases are re-mastered from the original tape reels, including top 20 hits, Something 4 The Weekend and If You Don’t Want Me to Destroy You.

A bonus disc of tracks, titled Lost On The Bypass Road also emerges from the Furries archive to accompany the release.

Enlisting the help of Furries official archivist, Kliph Scurlock and mastering expert, Donal Whelan, the recordings have been ‘sonically rediscovered’. Amongst the last of the high-profile, analogue albums to be produced in a pre-Pro Tools age, Fuzzy Logic has been re-mastered to capture the straight-to-tape ethos of their sessions at the Rockfield Studios.

Laboratory conditions have been maintained for the development of a new CD and digital release, ZOOM! The Best of Super Furry Animals, 1995 - 2016, taking the highs of their chart-climbing singles and adding the promise of yet further, elevated experiences through selected album tracks, personal band favourites, B-sides and those that somehow strayed out of collective memory, only to be recently rediscovered.

A band statement says: “We were a young family and found ourselves parents to two, boisterous albums, suddenly born between 1996 and 1997. It was our doing; we took full responsibility and endured the sleepless nights. The time goes so fast and they are all grown up now, old enough to be taken on the road again and let them stay up late. Before that excitement begins, we find ourselves rediscovering the thrilling alchemy found in the Fuzzy Logic vault and delve yet deeper to decide what makes the final ZOOM collection.”

Super Furry Animals will bring their Fuzzy Logic/Radiator tour to the Motorpoint Arena, Cardiff on December 17. Tickets cost £30 and go on sale on Friday, August 12 at 9am.
