Super Furry Animals have shared their first ever recorded song that features vocals from actor Rhys Ifans.The song – ‘Of No Fixed Identity – has remained in the band’s archives for almost 30 years but is now available on Bandcamp for a limited time.Before Gruff Rhys took over vocals, Ifans fronted the Welsh band.
The group first recorded at Gorwel Owen’s studio on Ynys Môn in summer 1993 and ‘Of No Fixed Identity’ was the first song ever recorded by the band.In a statement about the song, the group said: “Our first, ever recorded work is out, in part an exploration of the past and in part a criticism of the present and a future where corporate interests are prioritised ahead of health, wellbeing and the natural world.”“Please download the track, support the cause and rediscover the considerable singing talents of Mr Rhys Ifans.”You can download the song here.The band are donating a percentage off the profits to ‘Save The Severn’ campaign.
