Neon Neon is a collaborative project from producer Boom Bip and Gruff Rhys, who is best known as the frontman for the Welsh rock band Super Furry Animals. They began work on the project in October 2006 originally under the moniker Delorean .[1] In March 2008 the duo, by now calling themselves Neon Neon, released a full-length album entitled Stainless Style to generally positive reviews [2] and earned a nomination for the 2008 Mercury Music Prize[3].
Lead singer, Gruff Rhys, cast doubt over the future of Neon Neon in a recent interview for the BBC.
He said "I don't know about making another Neon Neon album because it was quite a specific record about (John) DeLorean's life story. If we did something in the future it would have to be something different. But it's nice that it did well and we get to play it live."[4]
Neon Neon have remixed Oasis's song "To Be Where There's Life" from their Dig Out Your Soul album for inclusion as the B-side of Oasis's next single, "I'm Outta Time", due for release on the 1st of December. However, it is only to be released on the vinyl copy of the single.[5]
