Gang Gang Dance LP

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.
