Super Furry Animals announce "Bing Bong", their first new single since 2009

The band's last LP Dark Days/Light Years arrived seven years ago, just before the Welsh group embarked on a lengthy hiatus - last year saw their first tour in six years.

"Bing Bong" was recorded in Cardiff late last year, and is due out 13 May. Further info will be given once the band finish up their current US festival dates.

The band say in a statement: “Let’s come together this summer, in song and let that song be BING BONG. Please await further transmissions.”
