Gruff Rhys' bit on the side

Posted about 1 year ago

Browsing mog.com, as one does, I came across Neon Neon, a side project of fave band Super Furry Animal's singer Gruff Rhys. So I immediately downloaded it (from iTunes Plus) - to find an album of perfectly formed 80's tribute music, in fact a concept album based on the life of 80's icon John DeLorean. Fucking brilliant, and so typical of Mr Rhys's offbeat genius.

     And did you see that performance? I saw some negative stuff about the segueway from "alderaan" to "trick and treat"..but ,live, Har Mar just upped the ante i thought ( a head stand!? already?)..overall ,the eighties feel screamed "Be Bop Deluxe" to me ,along with "Human League" "Kraftwerk" and so on obviously .. Last thing i got was "Rings around the World" ..this is just essential!
