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.

Who: U.K. dance-rock act Does It Offend You, Yeah?, an oddly-named quartet who are already championed by the British press after perfectly melding infectious electronics and live instruments on their debut album You Have No Idea What You're Getting Into.

Sounds Like: An obnoxious, dizzying, perfectly of-the-moment blend of Daft Punk, Justice and Rage Against the Machine.

Vital Stats:

• The band got their polarizing band name from an episode of the British version of The Office. When the group was posting their first song on MySpace, Ricky Gervais' character said that line in the episode at the exact moment, and the name stuck.

Who: Foals, a buzzy U.K. post-punk act that digs funky African grooves and is more than willing to rock a house party.

Sounds Like: Frontman Yannis Philippakis, drummer Jack Bevan, guitarist Jimmy Smith, bassist Walter Gervers and keyboardist Edwin Congreave spike their propulsive rhythms with lean, sparkling guitar lines and riotous chants that Philippakis says were inspired by Alan Lomax chain-gang recordings. Cuts like "Balloons" and "Cassius" feature funky guitar riffs, horns played by the Brooklyn Afro-beat group Antibalas, and the atmospheric production of TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek, whose studio techniques included running drums through distortion pedals.

Who: Midnight Movies, a Los Angeles quartet that creates indie pop that combines both the sunny moods and dark undercurrents of their hometown.

Sounds Like: The Human League and the Doors scoring a film noir, or if David Lynch had his own band and hired Nico to sing lead. On their new self-titled EP, the band puts their stamp on a cover of the Moody Blues' "Nights in White Satin," while artists like James Iha and Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Nick Zinner remix songs from the band's second album. "Before, 'Souvenirs' had a new wave feel to it," says lead singer Gena Olivier. "But Nick turned into something much more raw and punk rock."

Who: She and Him, a collaboration between indie-rock troubadour M. Ward and actress Zooey Deschanel.

Sounds Like: On their debut album Volume One, She and Him merge Bright Eyes, Emmylou Harris and Guided By Voices into expansive Phil Spector-inspired songs, with the entire package held together by Deschanel's silky vocals. "This was her first record, and she was discovering all the things she's capable of," says Ward.
