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.

album is fantastic. i don’t understand why he doesn’t get more club play. this album is full of bangers (e.g. charlotte is so so so perfect).

i was in berlin when white labels of happy house just started circulating and heard it 0 times. still mad.

when germans asked “what are americans digging?” and i responded with “JUAN MACLEAN!” they just shrugged and talked about americans not understanding polka techno.

Just got back from hearing his set. Loved the new stuff that I recognized on a system!

Def heard GMELT and "Happy House" out a lot in their time

Haha I don't go "out" but the only time I ever heard happy house "out" was at the metro before a Hercules and love affair show in like 2009

This album u guys

oh damn, "Running Back to You" is gorgeous 80s soul music I was not prepared for this

it's like the best song the Mary Jane Girls never recorded

brotherlovesdub, did it appear in the meantime? http://open.spotify.com/album/4BGSy2PuyRofUqvcnqi8K9
Inexplicably, it seems to be tagged as just 'Juan MacLean' sometimes.

Maybe it's not available on mobile? Still can't get it on my phone.

Country-specific, most probably.

big thumbs up for this album - "a simple design" is incredible.

is "charlotte" a totemic name for veteran trendy dance producers making straightforward bangers? am reminded (not sonically obv) of

I preordered so hopefully the mp3s show up soon. Need this for my commute home.

Download link appeared in my inbox 3 hrs ago. All fired up and ready to go for tomorrow's commute

Oh, I guess I had it in my inbox already. Ended up ordering both the blue vinyl and the test pressing.

Not feeling this yet cuz I don't love Nancy Whang like you guys do.

didn't like her Classixx track either

When I realize I don't like somebody, I stop listening to their music. Diff strokes and all that, I guess.

it's like the best song the Mary Jane Girls never recorded

ugh i am so psyched to get to this song

rev otm

this album rules

that track is good but idk dudes i'm not loving the rest yet
