Neon Neon single and album due out in March
Music News, Up-And-Coming Acts
Mof reported last year on the collaboration between Gruff Rhys and Boom Bip, which goes by the name Neon Neon. Now, much as I love Super Furry Animals, Gruff’s side projects can occasionally be a tad… inaccessible. Seeing him perform with Brazilian oddball Tony Da Gatorra last year was a particularly underwhelming experience.
The good news, therefore, is that Neon Neon is not only accessible – it is pop magnificence.
“I Lust U”, which also features Welsh singer-songwriter Cate Le Bon, is the kind of dance-pop with depth you could imagine Norwegian star Annie producing. It’s not officially out until March apparently, as is their album Stainless Style, but you can – and bloody well should – go and listen to it at their MySpace.
Check out the other tracks as well – given some decent promotion, Neon Neon could be a huge pop success I reckon. Whether that’s what Gruff and Boom Bip actually want is another matter entirely, of course. But personally I’d love to see just a touch of fuzzy logic jazzing up the pop charts.
