Mae'r albwm wedi ei enwi ar ôl siop ryw, Love Craft, ger swyddfeydd Ankst Management yng Nghaerdydd, ond fel dywedodd y drymiwr Dafydd Ieuan mewn cyfweliad gyda'r Western Mail yn 2005, mae'r enw'n dod o'r ffaith fod "llawer o'r caneuon ar yr albwm am ferched a chariad, neu ddiffyg cariad, o'i blaid ac yn ei erbyn".[1]
Mae canwr y band, Gruff Rhys, wedi disgrifio'r albwm fel "y record prydferthaf rydan ni wedi ei greu ... yn gerddorfaol iawn a gweddol diamser".[2]
Tarddiad a recordio
golyguRecordiwyd Love Kraft yn Figueres, dinas fechan yng Nghatalwnia, Sbaen.[3] Yn ôl Rhys, fa ganfyddodd y band eu hunain yn y sefyllfa "anarferol" o recordio eu seithfed albwm i gyd gyda'i gilydd, a dechreuon nhw edrych ar fandiau a oed wedi creu nifer o recordiau, megis Fleetwood Mac a The Beach Boys. Roedd y bandiau wedi creu "recordiau tramor" (Tusk a Holland) felly penderfynnodd y Super Furries i wneud yr un peth ond "ar gyllid llawr tynnach ... gyrron ni ein hoffer i gyd i lawr i Figueres a recordio yno mewn tair wythnos"[3][4]
Cafodd gadael eu stiwio arferol yng Nghaerdydd effaith drom ar y caneuon yn ôl Rhys:
- "Recordwyd ef mis Mehefin diwethaf mewn gwres angerddol. Doedden ni ddim wedi arfer â gwres o gwbl, felly mae'n albwm araf iawn. Rydan ni'n ei alw'n ein albwm roc-llaca".[3][5]
