Neon Neon's Eighties Mix: Listen to the Duets That Inspired Gruff Rhys and Boom Bip's "I Lust U"

Neon Neon, a collaboration between Super Furry Animals' Gruff Rhys and L.A. producer Boom Bip, blend Italian disco, Brazliian beats and Beach Boys harmonies on their debut disc Stainless Style. The album tells the story of real-life automobile visionary John DeLorean, creator of the famed Back to the Future car, as he navigates through all of the excesses of the 1980s, including his affair with actress Raquel Welch and his conviction on cocaine charges. To mark the release of their newest single, "I Lust U," — which features Rhys' duet with Welsh singer Cate Le Bon and wouldn't be out of place on the Human League's Dare — Neon Neon are offering up an exclusive mix of Eighties duets, including David Bowie and Queen, Pet Shop Boys with Dusty Springfield and Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. Click below to hear the track, and watch the new video for "I Lust U" above.
