Super Furry Animals have the now of Radiohead and the retro-edge of The Beatles. They're called techno-pop, but high-tech futurists paying tribute to obscure '60s vinyl comes closer.

Tonight, On Point: Super Furry Animals.

Guests:

Gruff Rhys, lead singer and guitarist for the Super Furry Animals
