The Juan MacLean (RFI)

good track

would LOVE a nancy whang album

melody's too infantile or something. prefer "all you're waiting for"

love everything I've got of these guys, but find sorting through house music in general tiresome and bewildering. did not like the Studio stuff I heard. what else is out there that's like this?

a) we don't know what you've got of these guys
b) Studio are not house music
c) we don't know what you've heard of Studio

it would be fun to answer your question otherwise!

I heard West Coast and was bored by it. I have Less Than Human, the Future Will Come, Feel So Good DJ Kicks, By the Time I Get to Venus and some other 12" I can't remember right now

Are you a fan of DFA acts in general?

Well I like LCD Soundsystem. Never listened to hot chip or their other acts.

My EOY #1s from two different years:

https://soundcloud.com/dfa-records/touch
https://soundcloud.com/brutal-music-1/justin-velor-back-to-the (longer version is on Spotify, even better)

kinda got buried with a late Friday release on a (double?) holiday weekend but yeah:

Not totally feeling the "Let's Go To Bed" lift but everything else works.

Excited for this.

Definitely stoked. "the Nancy Show"? This is an album I've been waiting for.

Yeah reading that made me very happy. Maybe that should have been the album title?

FUCK YEAH!!!!!

Stoked!

I listen to my Nancy Whang playlist all the time. Can't wait for this.

*guitar solo*

FUCK YEAH!!!!!

please share this Nancy Wang playlist

also this is amazing

i'm in love with this song. it combines a bunch of my favorite sounds right now... menacing EBM pulse, gritty/down and out guitars, mystic space vibes, sickly sweet synthpop, and it's fucking pretentious and bombastic. amazing.

I tried to keep it to songs she sings more than just back up vocals on so lots of LCD stuff was left off. It's not meant to be a comprehensive list of appearances.

sweet, thanks!

nice!

not so into that new track but still looking forward to the new album

http://thump.vice.com/mixes/mixed-by-the-juan-maclean

Pre-orders for the new album are up.

The album is now streaming here.

can we get this thread locked so ppl only use the correctly-spelled one?

Is there a particular "The Juan Maclean" thread that has been serving as an all-purpose catch-all thread?

Because otherwise, I'll probably just go ahead and correct the spelling in this thread's title.

Yes please do!
(Most tJM action is here: Happy House - the Juan Maclean but a dedicated artist thread would be great imo)

Holy shit, I really love the new album.

Release is next week? I've had it on order for ages it seems, hopefully there'll be a download link in the mail soon

The release is supposed to be next week but Amazon now have it listed as coming out on October 7th. Hope that's not the case. I ordered it ages ago too.

this album rules, def surpassed my expectations

that is awesome to hear

feel like nancy whang is weirdly unheralded

ooh yeah i am liking the sound of this album

whoa, "charlotte"!

ha the retro typeface on the album cover reminds me of the one on the lena dunham memoir.

feel like nancy whang is weirdly unheralded

i dunno, her unheralding seems pretty pedestrian to me

Really great and solid throughout with APCS the obvious standout. Love A Simple Design right now.
Even Love Stops Here and Charlotte are more or less listenable, although I would prefer a vinyl special release with just the Whang-tracks.

It's on Spotify, btw.

Can't find the whole album on Spotify. Can you link to it?

The NYT is still streaming the album.

Love Stops Here is my fav. track that Juan has sung. His tone is just right. This is a beautiful album.

Does Peter Hook get a commission when DFA bands rip him off?

"i've waited for so long" is my jam

This album is fantastic.

Yes! Man Power did the same so maybe they were talking to each other about HM!

sic, I sent you a webmail via the ILX message function.

Damn, sic, thank you so much for putting that together! <3
