Radiator

Radiator, released in 1997 by Super Furry Animals, builds on their alternative rock roots with a more immediate embrace of psychedelic textures and electronic color. The album balances concise, melodic songs with adventurous studio touches such as layered synths, samples and loose, playful arrangements, creating a warm, kaleidoscopic indie rock sound. It is often cited as a defining moment in the band’s late 1990s development for blending pop sensibility with experimental production.
