Especially this bit.
The reunion marks the 15th anniversary of their Welsh-language album Mwng, and a mid-set four-song slab of its experimental accordion jazz and Pink Floydish echoes feels an indulgence.OK. So a band whose members speak Welsh as a first language, singing some of their Welsh-language songs in Wales to a Welsh audience on the anniversary of those songs' first release is 'an indulgence'. I see. Or rather I don't, because I don't assume that I am the intended audience for absolutely everything because I'm from London.
Luckily the Super Furry Animals have a song for that and it's not in Welsh so the reviewer will understand it perfectly.
Meanwhile, have a track or two from that 'indulgent' album.

Brilliant album, too, even though I only understand a word or two. I must admit that when I read they were touring to mark the 15th anniversary of Mwng I assumed they were going to be doing play-the-album-straight-through gigs in the now fashionable way. The idea that playing four songs from it is self-indulgent... bah.
