Ok, so we’re a bit late to this one, but it makes interesting reading nevertheless… From the NME (of all places):

Super Furry Animals frontman Gruff Rhys will release an album with producer and solo artist Boom Bip next February. The duo, recording under the name Neon Neon, have titled their debut album ‘Stainless Style’, and have roped in a slew of stars to contribute to the record. They have recruited Fab Moretti of The Strokes, Har Mar Superstar, Yo Majesty, Spank Rock and The Magic Numbers to make musical contributions to the album. Neon Neon will release “Raquel”, the first single from the album, on November 26.

Now, this could be something exceedingly good or exceedingly bad… Initial listens to the single via their Myspace site suggests something a bit different for Mr. Rhys. Its got cowbells. Lots of them. As well as a 70’s disco vibe…
