Super Furry Animals

In December 2001, Super Furry Animals were riding high on the wave of their acclaimed album ‘Rings Around the World,’ which had been released earlier that year. This live performance of 'Run! Christian, Run!' during the John Peel Session showcases their innovative sound, blending elements of rock with experimental flair, something they became famous for. It was a time when they were not just a band but a cultural phenomenon, known for pushing boundaries in music and their eccentric yet engaging presence. Interestingly, their work with John Peel, a revered figure in music, highlights their appeal and credibility in the British music scene. This session also reflects the band's knack for live improvisation, sprinkling their unique essence into every performance. Receiving airplay from Peel was a significant step that helped them reach a broader audience, making this particular recording a notable highlight in their career.
