“Inaugural Trams” is a psychedelic krautdisco song about the virtues of light rail. There’s not much else to be said about the track from Super Furry Animals‘ Dark Days/Light Years (out now digitally on the band’s site and physically via Rough Trade), except that the first sentence was not a joke (sample lyrics: “Let us celebrate this monumental progress/We have reduced emissions 75 percent”), there’s a midsection that sounds like Right Said Fred in German, and Super Furry Animals are still Welsh weed gods at play in the Northern Lights, blowing multicolored smoke rings around the world.
