Recently split from his long-term girlfriend and bandmate, on holiday from his adopted home of New Zealand, McPhun was ready for something new. He’d always been a musical wayfarer, collecting sounds and styles from his travels around the globe and depositing influences and ephemera into three knockout Ruby Suns albums (2006’s ‘The Ruby Suns’, 2008’s ‘Sea Lion’ and 2010’s ‘Fight Softly’). In Scandinavia – amidst its icy architecture and sky-high fjords, not to mention the indomitable gloss-pop that’s the region’s leading export – he discovered the inspiration for this album. The story of ‘Christopher’ mirrors McPhun’s own coming of age: after a childhood spent in nerdy isolation, hiding away in his bedroom with his guitar while his older sister hosted high school ragers in their parents’ Ventura, CA home; after leaving home and becoming a citizen of the world; after disengaging from the relationship that defined most of his adult life, McPhun has stopped thinking so much and joined the party. ‘Rush’ sets the process in motion, but of all the songs on the album, ‘Jump In’ encapsulates a carpe diem MO – “When you reach the end of the world,” McPhun sings in his tender falsetto, “don\’t wanna have no regrets and no penitence.” ‘Christopher’s opening song, ‘Desert Of Pop’ – recorded at a friend’s home studio in Oslo, floating on Nord modular synths and ecstatic dancefloor energy – details McPhun’s inebriated encounter with Robyn backstage at a music festival in Cologne, Germany. “Flower among the leaves is what you are,” he sings, his sheepish grin practically bursting out of your speakers, “cold glass of water in the desert of pop.” Artist Ruby Suns, The Genre Rock And Pop Label Memphis Industries Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Desert Of Pop In Real Life Dramatikk Kingfisher Call Me Rush Jump In Boy Starlight Futon Fortress Heart Attack Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Ruby Suns, The and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Ruby Suns, The Sprite Fountain Psychedelia / Garage | Sellout Music | 1LP Released 9th June 2017 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ruby Suns, The Sprite Fountain £21.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Sellout Music SKU: SOUL60LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View People Of The North Deep Tissue Rock And Pop | Jagjaguwar / Brah | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 27th August 2010 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders People Of The North Deep Tissue £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Jagjaguwar / Brah SKU: JAGBR016LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 27th August 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Peaches Rub Rock And Pop | I U She Music | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 25th September 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Peaches Rub £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: I U She Music SKU: IUS001LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 25th September 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Adam & The Ants Young Parisians Rock And Pop | Decca (UMO) [GB] | Pop | Decca | 7", Coloured Vinyl Released 20th October 2023 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Adam & The Ants Young Parisians £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Decca (UMO) [GB] | Pop | Decca SKU: 5540043 Formats: 7", Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 20th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Eric Clapton August Rock And Pop | Reprise | 1LP Released 25th June 2018 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Eric Clapton August £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Reprise SKU: 0093624968801 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th June 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Heron Oblivion Heron Oblivion Rock And Pop | Sub Pop | 1LP Released 4th March 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Heron Oblivion Heron Oblivion £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP1149 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th March 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders On Sale View Product Quick View Elvis Costello Hey Clockface Rock And Pop | Concord | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 13th November 2020 £16.99 -
