“Golden Retriever” by Super Furry Animals
From the album Phantom Power (2003)
“Golden Retriever” by Super Furry Animals appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2013. It was first released in 2003 on the album Phantom Power. Its best result is #71 on the BBC 6 Music 100 Best Tracks Of The Last 10 Years.
"Golden Retriever" led the way for Phantom Power, Super Furry Animals' 2003 album, going out as its first single that July and reaching 13 on the UK singles chart. It's a song about dogs, more precisely about how the two dogs belonging to singer Gruff Rhys's girlfriend got along, and it shares a key, a guitar tuning and roughly a birth date with several other Phantom Power songs. The writing credit is split five ways, Rhys among them, and Rachel Thomas adds backing vocals.
Reviewers mostly warmed to it, keying on how catchy it was and on its glam rock swagger. The video, directed by Jake & Jim, put the band in yeti suits, and a Killa Kela remix later turned up on Phantom Phorce and on the Phantom Power DVD.
