Super Furry Animals drummer Dafydd Ieuan along with Rhys Ifans, Dic Ben, Kris Jenkins and Mick Hilton have teamed together to create The Peth who will issue their debut album ‘The Golden Mile’ on September 1 on the Strangetown Records Inc. label. The Peth will preview the album with the release of a single, and will also play selected live dates throughout the summer.
Ifans was the original vocalist in Super Furry Animals prior to departing the band to focus on his acting career. Formed in 2006 as an excuse for the band members to spend time together in the studio, the album was recorded sporadically over a 2 year period and tells of locations, characters and personal tales in a mile long stretch between the studio and the Grangetown area of Cardiff. According to Ifans everything needed to 'sustain' the recording was available on this stretch of road he dubbed The Golden Mile.
Written primarily by Ieuan, ‘The Golden Mile’ features ten tracks that range broadly between retro psychedelic pop and muscular stoner rock with titles including ‘Stonefinger’, ‘Shoot on Sight (Flock of Zeigheils)’, ‘Turbotank’ and ’69 Fanny Street’. Its raw, rambunctious nature will surely make for an electrifying live show when The Peth hit the road.
Alright there Peth'sters! You got anything gigwise in the pipeline soon? Seems like forever since that Cwmaman show. Sort your schedules out and make some noise soon, Cwmtwrch is being a bit boring at the moment and we could do with some entertainment.
