Super Furry Animals are the latest band to get on board the reggae train. Hell, if Johnny Greenwood can do it I guess anyone can. Guto Pryce, Super Furry’s bassist will be working with Trojan’s back catalogue to make a collection of his favorite dub and reggae music called Furry Selection. Kinda sounds more like a porn that music album, don’t ya think?
Speaking with XFM, Pryce commented on the piece, “I started trying to listen to every reggae record ever made but in the end I just went for my favourite songs, ones I listen to often. We DJ a bit on tour in the dressing room and we play a lot of reggae, so a lot of these tunes are just tunes I play all the time anyway.”
