[MP3] new Gang Gang Dance: “Romance Layers”

Maybe it was the cup of coffee I just drank to get over the mid-afternoon hump, but I’ve been grooving to this new Gang Gang Dance record ever since the caffeine made its way to my cerebral cortex. Coupled with the below post on EMA, there are some ridiculous releases dropping next week and Eye Contact is right atop my list. I’ve listened to Gang Gang Dance before but they’re not my favorite brand, I would snag them off the shelf and read the back of the box but always end up putting it right back where I found it. Now they’re sitting in the child seat of my shopping cart, safely snuggled in between the bumpin’ bread and eccentric eggs. Cart party!

This is a slow jam I can equally enjoy on a rooftop looking at the sun fade into the horizon or on a foggy dance-floor with a few neon lights and a disco ball above head. It’s got the charm of a Kisses jam and the avant-garde funk of Hot Chip track, slowly snaking through your inner ear canal causing a few “Oh yeah, that’s the spot” murmurs. I’ve got a feeling Eye Contact (out via 4AD) might be the summer LP for me, we’ll see how it holds up in the sunshine.
