Review: Neon Neon - Raquel21 January, 2008 — Geoff Hickman

neon neon raquel

If your pervy ways lean towards 80's electro and Super Furry Animals, you'll be slipping your tongue into 'Raquel' for quite some time. I know I will. She's gorgeous! But it gets weirder. The entire record (Stainless Style) is themed around the life of John Delorean. Ah, now it makes sense.

Sometimes a good song is just a good song, and this is certainly a good one. It's retro, breezy, and happy. But when it's part of a larger, quirky story, it somehow makes it even better. Marketing 101 I reckon.

Neon Neon is a project with Gruff Rhys and Boom Bip. Stainless Style is released in February 2008 on Lex Records.
