Returning on not only a blue audiophile LP, but also CD and digital formats, the celebratory release brings back into circulation a singular record from the same fertile ecosystem that produced Super Furry Animals and has long been established as a vital, if undercelebrated chapter of Welsh music folklore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcid Casuals was born in 1994 and remains a loose Cardiff community of musicians, artists and friends, with Furries synths wrangler, \u003cstrong\u003eCian Ciarán\u003c\/strong\u003e, former \u003cstrong\u003eBig Leaves\u003c\/strong\u003e bassist, \u003cstrong\u003eKev Tame\u003c\/strong\u003e and musician and actor, \u003cstrong\u003eLlyr Evans\u003c\/strong\u003e at its original centre. Never conceived as a conventional band, both the collective’s nucleic performers and those with walk-on parts dipped in and out when time allowed. As time passed, ideas accumulated, tours and albums came and went, the Acid Casuals identity remained deliberately fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased in 2006, \u003cem\u003eOmni\u003c\/em\u003e arrived in the curious space between the Super Furry Animals albums, \u003cem\u003eLove Kraft\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eHey Venus!\u003c\/em\u003e and came to be emblematic, amongst its informed listeners, of that same adventurous musical outlook. Its ten tracks move freely between electronic abstraction, ambient melody, skewed pop, vocal experimentation and the kind of psychedelic songcraft that had become second nature and further developed. The range of the record’s ideas is there in its strange and memorable titles alone: from the \u003cstrong\u003eRichard Burton\u003c\/strong\u003e-indebted \u003cem\u003eIf I’m A Selt, You’re A Sunt\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e132a Column Road\u003c\/em\u003e through \u003cem\u003eWa Da Da\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eKraken\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eLuciano\u003c\/em\u003e, to the woozy doo-wop romance of the closing track, \u003cem\u003eBowl Me Over\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor listeners taking their curious first steps from the Furries into Acid Casuals, or for vinyl completists, a long-missing piece of the jigsaw is about to fall into place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Omni'\u003c\/em\u003e is released on vinyl and CD by new label Circuitry Electronic with wew artwork by \u003cstrong\u003eThe Designers Republic\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Circuitry Electronic","offers":[{"title":"Turquoise Vinyl LP","offer_id":58916275323225,"sku":"SDZ-50818","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":58916275355993,"sku":"SDZ-50819","price":13.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/omni.png?v=1787224553","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/acid-casuals-omni-20th-anniversary-reissue","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
