Neon Neon (Gruff Rhys) – Stainless Style (2008)
Neon Neon (Gruff Rhys) – Stainless Style (2008)
Neon Neon is the combined musical powers of Los Angeles based producer Boom Bip and Super Furry Animals main man and solo artist Gruff Rhys.
The whole ‘Stainless Style’ record is, rather bizarrely, inspired by the incredible life of the world’s first playboy engineer, John DeLorean. The ballsy businessman dealt in high stakes, borrowing enormous sums of money, including 85 million pounds from the British Government, in order to fulfill his lifelong dream of building an automotive empire. His crowning glory, the iconic DMC-12, better known as simply ‘The DeLorean’, was fittinglyimmortalized as Marty and Doc’s time machine in legendary 80s movie Back To The Future.
Boom Bip’s euphoric, lush and pin-sharp dancefloor-pop leads us into the heady world of fast cars, fast living, shagpile carpets and the bitter taste of martini as Gruff Rhys’s brilliantly maverick songwriting reimagines – through the eyes of DeLorean himself – the heady romance between the smitten fast-living businessman and silver screen siren.
The album also features guest appearances by Spank Rock, Yo Majesty and Fat Lip.
