Super Furry Animals' new studio diary series

Starting today, Super Furry Animals will be releasing 21 individual episodes documenting the recording process of their forthcoming (currently untitled) ninth studio album, captured on four individual hand-held cameras. But this will be no ordinary "the making of the album" story; it's a series of Warhol-like observations, of a band putting the finishing touches to songs, a celebration of the banal nature of the mixing process. Whole chunks of time seem to vanish at twice the speed over a slow game of darts or the making of a cup of tea as a song is played on repeat 26 times on the mixing console.

Inspired by Mike Figgis' groundbreaking film Time Code, the episodes can be viewed through the band's website and podcast series: www.superfurry.com
'Ah! Greetings friends, join us for the next few weeks as we finish up our new album for your ears. We have borrowed 4 video cameras from friends and family and we will document events as they unfold, hopefully with as little drama as possible.'
