Gruff Rhys can do no wrong in my book - but then those who know me already know that.
His most recent collaboration with Boom Bip is a concept album inspired by the life and times of John DeLoreon. Much of it is side-splittingly funny and generally reminds me of the soundtrack to The Breakfast Club, Prince and Paula Abdul.
Here's my fav. song on the album. I also like Raquel (great baseline).
As a bonus, I've added a clip of the duo being interviewed by Lastfm at SXSW. Gruff's sax commentary - "it has a vomit inducing quality" makes it.
Illuminate me with thoughtful interaction
Girlfriend I think we've reached a bad end
The future tense impossible to comprehend
So say goodbye for the final time
I'm gonna dance all night 'till the morning light
I'm gonna steel your girlfriend and end this show
For the final dance before it's time to go
So say goodbye to your Valentine
I'm gonna dance all night 'til the morning light
And then steel your girlfriend and end this show
For a final dance before it's time to go
On a clear day I can see solutions
To all the heavy shit facing revolution
On a drawing card a time of no admission
On the condition I still get my permission
Parentheses of new light dry ice melts emotion
You are forbidden fruit you are my temptation
So say goodbye for the final time
I'm gonna dance all night 'till the morning light
I'm gonna steel your girlfriend and end this show
For a final dance before it's time to go
So say goodbye to your Valentine
I'm gonna dance all night 'till the morning light
And then steel your girlfriend and end this show
For a final dance before it's time to go
So shake your shaksi up and down
Take a holiday, we're out of town
I'm gonna lay on the beach and surf in the sea
And by the end of this day, I'll be you, you be me
So say goodbye for the final time
I'm gonna dance all night 'till the morning light
And then steel your girlfriend and end this show
Fo a final dance before it's time to go
So say goodbye to your Valentine
I'm gonna dance all night 'till the morning light
And then steel your girlfriend and end this show
For a final dance before it's time to go
'Cause I'm the CEO...
