Welsh icons Super Furry Animals have released new music for the first time in seven years ahead of their nation competing in this summer's Euro 2016 football championships.

'Bing Bong' is the band's first single since they released their album Dark Days/Light Years back in 2009 and keyboardist Cian Ciaran has deemed it as the unofficial anthem for the Dragons as they head to France for the tournament.

Speaking to The Line Of Best Fit, he said: "we wanted to make sure the two ideas could co-exist - it being a Furrys and a football song in one. I think we managed it"

The track is by no means a conventional football song with mesmerising synths, trippy vocals and a pulsing bassline but stands alone as a decent comeback to music for the group. 

You can listen to it via Spotify below. 

Super Furry's have also announced that they will be playing a gig in Toulouse on 10th June, the eve of Wales' opening fixture against Slovakia. 

As we revealed yesterday, the official Welsh Euro 2016 anthem has been recorded by Manic Street Preachers, find out more here.
