it really is! i can't think of a single interesting thing to say about it but it has given me a ton of pleasure lately.

does MacLean's voice improve?
― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 9 November 2014 22:26 (nine years ago) link
He's only noticeable on a couple of tracks anyway iirc? Thought he was more distracting on the previous album (which I still love).

How are John (Juan? idk) and Nancy live? They're coming to town and I don't think it's just a DJ set (or else I wouldn't bother even thinking of going).
― Tay-Tay Brooklynpants (Murgatroid), Monday, 10 November 2014 09:06 (nine years ago) link
It's almost certainly a DJ set; they haven't played live since Jerry died AFAIK, although Juan says he wants to get a new band together soon.
(I saw 'em touring Happy House with Holy Ghost as the rest of the band, and they were phenomenal. There's a killer 19-minute live version of HH on vimeo w/ Jerry & Eric Broucek (iirc) that you should totally watch.)
― the incredible string gland (sic), Monday, 10 November 2014 09:25 (nine years ago) link
Two DJ sets.
Did Jerry Play on The Future Will Come at all? I'm thinking about the drum rolls all over a track like 'Tonight', and how they really add to the emotional drive of the song, and how some of the songs on this new one would have been improved here with similar attention to rhythm. I do like it, but it feels a bit by numbers.
― Matt DC, Monday, 10 November 2014 11:19 (nine years ago) link
Jerry's on the title track and No Time, all other full-kit drumming is by Nick from HG!, inc Tonight. He's too busy co-writing and producing this one, so only drums on one track, with the HG touring drummer on a bunch.

'running back to you' is such a jam, it's like an even more spaced-out 'i can't go for that (no can do)'

Finally listened to this and not only is it great but I would go so far as to say as I like his voice at times on this album so well done everybody

Is Juan Maclean going to end up with a better 2017 album than LCD Soundsystem? Likely.

I haven't loved everything they've done the past few years but this is brilliant, the synths are just so sparkling and I think this might be one of the best performances by Nancy Whang
― boxedjoy, Wednesday, 12 December 2018 23:06 (five years ago) link
"Tonight" is such a banger.

A compilation of all the recent singles and a few new tracks is coming on September 20th. I kept thinking it was time for a new album (five years since In a Dream already!) and I guess this is the closest we're going to get for now.
― kitchen person, Wednesday, 12 June 2019 14:07 (four years ago) link
Haven't kept up with their singles, must remedy (and can conveniently do so come September..)
― willem, Wednesday, 12 June 2019 14:42 (four years ago) link
the singles are all fuckin phenomenal
― american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 12 June 2019 17:50 (four years ago) link
all the recent singles and a few new tracks
it's not all the singles, which I know just because literally hours before that story published I was retagging mp3s to make two compilations on my ipod ("mid-period" and "late period"). I think the title track is the only collected one without Nancy on it though
how I break it down to an extent:
01. What Do You Feel Free About? [2018 single]02. Zone Non Linear [2019 single]03. You Are My Destiny [2013 single]04. Get Down (With My Love) [2014 single]05. Feel Like Movin' [2013 split single]06. Quiet Magician [new]07. Pressure Danger [new]08. Can You Ever Really Know Somebody [2017 single]09. The Brighter The Light [2017 single]
not included:
Mirembe [2017 split single - as "Juan"]Sad To Think [2018 single]Quantum Reach [2018 split single - Amy collab]Panic In Fort Greene Park [2018 "solo" boogie EP] - Fine Time - Don't Stop For Nothing - Everybody Clap - Panic In Fort Greene ParkJust Once More [2018 "solo" disco single]Time Out Of Joint [2019 split single A1]Everywhere At Once [2019 split single A2]
(bolds are explicitly by The / don't have Nancy. also of late and of interest: 2016 3-track EP by "Juan MacLean's Peach Melba," and a 2017 4-track EP of cocktail-party house with Shit Robot as Autofac. which sounds more like a name you should use for clattering machine techno imo. he also mixed all of Shit Robot's last album, and played on or produced bits of it, including a Juan / Nancy / Poopbot joint)

Mirembe [2017 split single - as "Juan"]
turns out this was someone on Discogs being dumb
― quelle sprocket damage (sic), Saturday, 15 June 2019 21:51 (four years ago) link
another non-album single out next week, as a duo with Man Power called Juan Power - one of the b-sides is a remix of an otherwise unreleased track, so presumably there's more to come
(there's a soundcloud embed of the A-side in that story, but it won't load for me)

Thanks to this compilation for the reminder how great these singles have been, listening to this is making me want to go dancing immediately

Really works well as an album. I still have no idea why the rest of the internet seem to sleep on how great they are. I listened to In A Dream recently and it sounded like a classic.

pretty stoked to go see this guy DJ tonight, poolside for halloween in waikiki. waikiki is bonkers on halloween, so i hope the event is not a shit show. happy halloween y'all. :)

New interview and streaming mix.
So I came home and had a flood of big releases, and a string of cancelled tour dates. It has been very surreal, having this music that’s mostly meant to be played in a club, be released. On the one hand you could say that it’s a bit of a waste. On the other hand, it’s all music I cared very deeply about, and the response has been phenomenal. So on the purest level, for me, it has been very gratifying actually.I have a feeling next year will be even better. I’ve been having the best time in the studio, being super productive and generally making music that is very pure, entirely devoid of external pressures and considerations. I have also raised my intake of psychedelics quite a bit, which has been a huge help. It has been a very exciting time!
