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 Eric Clapton Old Sock Rock And Pop | Polydor | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 3rd April 2013 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Eric Clapton Old Sock £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Polydor SKU: 3733169 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 3rd April 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View James Be Opened By The Wonderful Rock And Pop | Virgin Music / Nothing But Love Music | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 9th June 2023 £34.00 - £37.00 Select options James Be Opened By The Wonderful £34.00 - £37.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Virgin Music / Nothing But Love Music Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 9th June 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Celebration Wounded Healer Rock And Pop | Bella Union | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 2nd June 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Celebration Wounded Healer £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bella Union SKU: BELLA639V Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 2nd June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ex-Olympian Afterlife Rock And Pop | Dot Dash Records | 1LP Released 16th October 2020 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ex-Olympian Afterlife £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Dot Dash Records SKU: DASH068LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th October 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Caspian On Circles Rock And Pop | Triple Crown Records | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th January 2020 £20.00 Select options Caspian On Circles £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Triple Crown Records Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th January 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Rhye Blood Rock And Pop | Loma Vista / Concord | 1LP Released 2nd February 2018 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Rhye Blood £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Loma Vista / Concord SKU: LVR00318 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Reigning Sound Shattered Rock And Pop | Merge | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 10th July 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Reigning Sound Shattered £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Merge SKU: MRG470LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 10th July 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Eurovision Song Contest Malmö 2024 Rock And Pop | UMR | 3LP Released 24th May 2024 £43.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Eurovision Song Contest Malmö 2024 £43.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMR SKU: 6512096 Formats: 3LP Released Date: 24th May 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gov't Mule Life Before Insanity Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 9th October 2020 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gov't Mule Life Before Insanity £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP706 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 9th October 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Marc Bolan & T.
