My Density Has Brought Me To You
Being a huge Super Furry Animals fan, i'm always interested in what Gryff Rhys is up to.... and a new concept album about John DeLorean was always going to be right up my street!
It's a collaboration with Boom Bip under the name Neon Neon, and also features the talents of Spank Rock among others.
Such an icon of the 80s was always going to inspire some synth pop, and top track 'I Lust You' is the result. It sounds rather like Erasure might had they smoked a lot of skunk rather than sniffed a lot of Amyl.
NEON NEON - I LUST YOU
Neon Neon are playing live as part of a rather impressive line-up at Fabric on Thursday...
Unsurprisingly (given the name), Isosceles pursue a rather angular sound. I nearly overlooked this, their second single, as I found the A-Side 'Kitch Bitch' a little terrible. The b-side 'Watertight' is far more interesting though... a disco bassline, cowbells, strange noises and a catchy chorus. Job done!
ISOSCELES - WATERTIGHT
Moshi Moshi's latest singles club release shows their eye for talent is still strong. Dels is a rapper from London whose beats are provided by Joe from Hot Chip. There's definitely a bit of a Roots Manuva influence there, though the excellent b-side 'Myself Malfunction' seems to have been inspired by Hadouken! One to watch I think..
DELS - LAZY
You'll also find this on the new Moshi Moshi Singles Club album - a compilation of the first 14 7" record. There's some great stuff here including classic singles by Friendly Fires & Late of the Pier, as well as Kate Nash's debut (if that rocks your boat).
One treat i'd missed is this single by Lykke Li, a beautifully wonky pop song from Sweden.
LYKKE LI - LITTLE BIT
Like everything on Moshi Moshi, the album is well worth picking up. It also seems that an accompanying b-sides album is available on the cover of this month's Artrocker magazine. Anyone know where I can get a copy?
Oh, nearly forgot, i'm Djing in Brixton on Saturday night. Should be a good night I reckon... come & say hello!
