Gang Gang Dance LP

oh shit...

gang gang

Lotus is really good

agree bud, nice tune

New one "J-Tree" is a lovely lil groove. This is feeling like it'll be a sweet summer album.

loving the smooth vibes on the new tracks, J-Tree is especially gorgeous

Some background https://www.stereogum.com/1994986/gang-gang-dance-2018-interview/franchises/interview/

the way the pipeline protest sample comes in on J-Tree is the most beautiful thing. super excited for this album

Looking forward to this. Always have time for this band

Sample killed me on j tree

I just love their **sound** don't know how to describe, but the tone works with me, pretty much no matter what.

The new one gets better and better the more you hear it.

Eye Contact still sounds like the future

everything posted in the last few days is correct
j-tree rules

Yeah excited for this one.

Highly recommend the beedeegee record by degraw

It’s cool how much their sound changed when all their gear was stolen. Not that it’s cool the gear was stolen

psyched for this

Inspired by all the love for gang gang I’ve purchased eye contact and saint dymphna, my favourite. I already own it somewhere but I’m dying to spin house jam

Damn is dymphna good. Like their pop record.

Also vacuum sounds like Mbv mashed with hip hop

house jam is an all time high for me

Oh shit gang gang

also ^^^^

Dymphna and Eye Contact are two of my favorite albums of the 2000s, easily. I'm always happily surprised when I go back to them, they're so good. (Also the two GGD shows I've seen are two of my favorite shows of the 2000s.)

Jealous of the shows moth. I forgot to go to the eye contact show :-/

Sooo good. They closed out one night of Big Ears that year, and they played so long they actually got shut down because it was 3 a.m. Everybody was still dancing and no one wanted to go home.

Damn son

Gang Gang Dance - Ottobar - Baltimore, MD - August 5, 2009 (full video)

Shit

Saw them at the Eye Contact and boy was it good.

Eye Contact tour*

Thru and Thru is a masterpiece fuiud

They were amazing on the Eye Contact tour. The news stuff is lovely but here's hoping the new album has the sort of rollercoaster moments that both that and Dymphna had.

Listened to SD this week in anticipation (first time in maybe seven or eight years?) on way better speakers and headphones than I had back when I first heard it and I don't think I really appreciated how much space there is in the sound on Vaccum. It's like rattling around in a tank of noise.

Same here bud. Just rolled it with some new Sony headphones and damn it sounded good. I think sd and eye contact are their masterpieces. I’d be happy with just a good record with no frills at this juncture

For a band that's all about finding exciting new frills that seems like the wrong approach to me.

What I mean is they’ve made enough dope records to just put a solid record. Anyway love the two new singles and imagine they’ll as per usual drop Bombs

I’ve been a fan since their first lp but I’m just happy they’re producing new material

Love how Chinese high goes from little
Mermaid to like lounge family sitcom music

haha i can't believe there were people this into their shit show they called a live show. They were the worst band I've ever seen live other than the chromatics, and I saw them at their 2009 peak. Awful hot mess.

You could replace Lizzi with a 10 year old who had no drumming experience on those tom drums and they could keep the same rhythm she has. Maybe the bad-ness of it is the appeal but it's lost on me.

Owch

lotta negativity on ilx today

The one time I saw them live was at a festival and their sound problems were so bad that they managed to finish I think 3 songs in a total of an hour.

Haven’t seen them live but I love their records.

Can’t stand for this dissing

The two new songs sound to me like the best thing they’ve done since saint dymphna

Then again they were pretty much inactive for 7 years, I thought they had disbanded already.

saw them around a year after saint dymphna came out?

cool show i really enjoyed it

The first time I saw Lizzi play was with her drum-duo side project, and I liked her energy but musically it was a lot of undistinguished thumping. So I was surprised the first time I saw GGD how well her drumming worked in the confines a more structured band. Like I said upthread, both times I saw them they were totally in sync and on point, their sets were seamless.

Yeah saw em 2010 and they slayed, it’s almost as if there are variances of quality across performances depending on context

I think this band has the best futurism
