Black Neon story building
The Black Neon release's story is building quickly..
UK PRESS:::::::::::::::
The Guardian
An album in whihc an English psychedelic band decide they are going to play Krautrock. Even when they drop the synths for acoustic guitars they still sing about Ralph being in the German army. Odd and lovely.
BBC Collective - Album of the Week
totally wonderful ****
Time Out
Evoking eno's psyche-glam, Amon Duul's fluid space rock and scuzzy garage in a fine collection of pop oddities ****
NME
an unusual and groovy addition to your summertime collection
Uncut
a homage to the motorik groove, its the freakier side of avant rock that wins through
****
Vice
totally top notch hazzy electronic stuff 9/10
Nuts
a great iPod addition for anyone who wears sunglasses after dark ****
The Sun
intriguing original and as an artistic vision perfectly crafted ****
