Hometown Unicorn

"Hometown Unicorn" is the debut single by Super Furry Animals, released on Alan McGee's Creation Records label on February 26, 1996. It reached #47 in the UK Singles Chart and was voted as "Single of the Week" in the NME magazine.

The packaging of the single features a quote in Welsh, 'Bydded goleuni!', which means 'Let there be light!' in English. This practise of including Welsh quotes was followed by every subsequent SFA single up to, and including, the release of "Demons" in 1997.

Critical response

The track appears in Garry Mulholland's book This Is Uncool, a list of the "500 greatest singles since punk and disco".
