Gang Gang Dance LP

never heard of that band or album but now I want to

this is the hazy sound of my summer

spoiled by riches with music this year but this may be the best record i've heard this year. perfect length, delivers in every way sonically...so good

Would anyone happen to have a spare DL code for this :)

I've been loving the tracks on YouTube, need to hear the whole thing properly.

I know a way you can do that without ripping anyone off

ysi?

Lol Noel. Could probably help you despite paying for the record - share the love iirc

I'm dithering over buying the FLAC on Bleep because it doesn't cost much less than the CD, and I'm put off buying the CD because it doesn't come with a download, unlike most CDs they stock, which feels a bit mean in this day and age.

So I'd just like to hear it and get enthused enough to go for one or the other.

Ross, thanks. Hit me up with an email if you feel so inclined.

hey Noel, just saw your post (sorry)

i could likely help you if this is still needed, let me know (no computer at home but can do this at a friends this weekend)

i still think these are valid points

kazuashita title track sounds like enya/loreena mckennitt mashed with drum and bass, or something like delerium would do but more gnarly

sounds like a logical extension from beeDEEGEE and eye contact

especially the beat programming which is a lot like beeDEEGEE

-- im interested in how their sound evolved when their equipment was stolen years back, and possibly a thread about that at some point. Saint Dymphna seems like an outlier in their career now, but there are definitely sounds on that which seem to pop up on the new one

Ross, did you see this? https://www.stereogum.com/1994986/gang-gang-dance-2018-interview/franchises/interview/

no, thanks :)

this is a really great record

I wrote off Kazuashita when it was first released; it seemed so slight compared with the absolute mindfuck of Eye Contact. That was a big mistake. I've relistened several times in the last couple of days, and Kazuashita really is quite a beautiful album. Lotus has such an enveloping atmosphere.

Anyone know what GGD have been up to in the ensuing four years? I hope they have some new music coming. I need this in my life right now.

They're on a track with Meditations On Crime and Harper Sound called 'Crime Seed' released a few months ago. It's OK - A+ yalping from Lizzi tho

(Harper Simon)

they played in nyc during the omicron wave and i chose cowering at home to going out and checking it

seems pretty obvious in retrospect that they were light years ahead of their former contemporaries. All their stuff holds up really well, in general for 10+ year old records, and specifically compared against some other records from that timeframe …

kazuashita was a very good follow-up to eye contact, it's a similar vibe just chiller overall

Thanks for the intel nashwan and vapor. Glad they're still making music!

Just listened to Crime Seed, it was pretty inconsequential imo.
