Encoded | 27 March 2008
This week we're having a journey into Antidotes, the new album from indie hypemongers Foals, which promises to be a killer release for 2008.

Enjoy!
Album Focus: Neon Neon – 'Stainless Style'
Encoded | 20 March 2008
This week we get shiny, bright and super non-stick with Neon Neon, whose debut album Stainless Style has just been released. Neon Neon is a collaborative project between Super Furry Animals frontman Gruff Rhys and electro pioneer Boom Bip, who first hooked up a couple of years ago when Gruff provided the vocal for Boom Bip's track 'Dos and Don'ts.' Now they've decided to do a whole album together and roped a load of their pals in to help, and the result is one of the most infectious, accessible and ultimately poppy albums that you'll hear this year.

All, frankly, quite weird.
