Overview Edit

Mwng (English: Mane) is an album by Super Furry Animals. The album is sung entirely in Welsh and is claimed to be the most successful Welsh language album ever. The album was released on the Super Furry Animals' own Placid Casual record label—according to guitarist Huw Bunford the group had offered the record to former label Creation Records shortly before they went out of business but were told they didn't want it.

As a result of its success, it was mentioned in Parliament by Paul Flynn and Elfyn Llwyd.

The album was recorded over a weekend session in Cardiff and at producer Gorwel Owen's house. Gruff Rhys is quoted as saying that the whole album only took "a couple of weeks" to complete.

"Y Teimlad" ("The Feeling") is a cover of a Datblygu song.

"Ysbeidiau Heulog" ("Sunny Spells") was released as a white vinyl single in 2000 (backed with b-side "Charge") and was also featured on the bands greatest hits compilation, Songbook: The Singles, Vol. 1, in 2004.
