'The time for alien invasion is now'

I think that that's what Gruff said about the new Super Furry Animals single Lazer Beam, played for the first time an hour in here (it won't work after Thursday) and from the lyrics I could make out it did seem a little like the Northern Lites theme only with aliens instead of God issuing the killing. This may prove incorrect when I hear it more.
Anyway, that is of secondary importance to the fact that on complete listen it sounded totally ace and puts them back to great first single form after the hiccup of the merely good Golden Retriever. It begins electronic and rather funky, gets to an angry sweary verse and erupts into a HUGE chorus, even by their standards. It adds some rather gorgeous strings near the end for an added bonus too. It's from forthcoming album Love Kraft which I am much looking forward to.
