{{main|Super Furry Animals}}
When Ffa Coffi Pawb disbanded in 1993, Rhys and drummer [[Dafydd Ieuan]], of Rhoscefnhir, [[Anglesey]], who had played for [[Catatonia (band)|Catatonia]], [[Yr Anhrefn|Anhrefn]], Hanner Pei and many other Welsh language bands, formed the basis of Super Furry Animals. They soon settled on a line-up consisting of Rhys on vocals and guitar, Ieuan on drums, his brother [[Cian Ciaran]] (formerly of WWZZ) on keyboards, [[Huw Bunford]] (formerly of U-Thant) on guitar and [[Guto Pryce]] on bass. This line-up has remained constant to the present day, although the role of each member has become more flexible, particularly in the studio.

In 1995, following a couple of largely Welsh-language EPs on the [[Ankst]] label, they signed to [[Creation Records]]. Apparently, when offering them the deal after a gig, [[Alan McGee]], head of Creation, asked that they sing more songs in English. Rhys pointed out that all the songs that night had been in English. Super Furry Animals went on to release their critically acclaimed first album, ''[[Fuzzy Logic (Super Furry Animals album)|Fuzzy Logic]]'', in 1996 – the first time Rhys had recorded in English. He later observed that his singing sounded like a random collection of accents – but it was nevertheless very successful.

Follow-up albums included ''[[Radiator (album)|Radiator]]'' in 1997, ''[[Guerrilla (album)|Guerrilla]]'' in 1999 and ''[[Mwng]]'' in 2000. They also became particularly famous for their 40-foot inflatable bears and a blue tank with 'SFA' written upon it which toured summer festivals playing techno music at high volume. Super Furry Animals made a further mark on history in July 2001, when they released their first album for the Sony label, ''[[Rings Around the World]]'', on CD and DVD simultaneously. They repeated this for 2003's ''[[Phantom Power (Super Furry Animals album)|Phantom Power]]''. Unfortunately 2005's ''[[Love Kraft]]'' performed poorly commercially and Super Furry Animals agreed to leave Sony. They are presently signed to [[Rough Trade Records|Rough Trade]] and released ''[[Hey Venus!]]'' in 2007 in the UK. In 2009 they released their latest record to date, entitled ''[[Dark Days/Light Years]]''.
