Neon Hurts My Eyes is Natural Self's third album on Tru Thoughts. Three years in the making, the LP unveils a striking departure for the respected London based producer and DJ as he takes on the role of singer-songwriter fully for the first time.
This inventive sonic landscape, a highly poised confection of beats, bleeps and noises drawn from a vast textural palette, is more redolent of Radiohead, while a taut, melodic pop-but-not-pop sensibility aligns the songs with Little Dragon or James Blake. Beat-heavy and replete with synths aplenty, this is electronic music with warmth and heart.
