this band deserves a topic on its own. i found out about them through the recommendation from deadeight. it's the most exciting music i've heard in a long time...definitely the most exciting this year. i've downloaded both albums and i love them both. the one titled "gang gang dance" are two tracks (side a and b), both about 20 minutes long. here's a review deadeight posted in the original thread: Gang Gang Dance review in the Wire: "The art-rock underground in Brooklyn is always percolating, but lately there's something scalding in the water, considering the brilliantly disparate sounds of Sightings, Animal Collective, Double Leopards, Excepter, Mouthus, all the outsider outfits on the Space is No Place compilations, and so much more. Gang Gang Dance just might be the tip of this sky-high geyser; this LP, their first official release (aside from last years super-limited Revival of the Shittest CD-R), is an absolute mind-washer, two side-long tracks of elongated vocals, 3-D percussion, electronic breakdowns, and skin-raising noise. ..no one could've predicted the bracing originality of their new ensemble." - Marc Masters, WIRE. check them out, you won't be sorry. |

this guy sent me a track via msn. not bad! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
though i'm not sure i got the whole vibe with this one track. if i ever see this person again i will ask to check some more.... i must admit i'm not as conviced as tolstoyed or others on the board. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah i read that wire review... still meaning to check them out. They're on the (very long) "Listen To" list. |

I've heard of them through their association with the Brooklyn noise scene (Animal Collective are the fucking shit - especially "Here Comes the Indian", because that album fucking rules) but I can't find a record shop that carries their stuff. How are they compared to the Collective? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, it's quite different actually. much more minimalistic...and doesn't have that happy animal collective vibe. animal collective is nice, but i love this gang gang dance way more. mind it's totally different stuff though. |

"Taking the building blocks of dance, rock and expiermental music this foursome whip up as strange and beautiful a music as we've ever heard, bringing to mind Throbbing Grissle or Amon Duul or, to be more specific, a sound unlike we've ever heard before." that's from their bio - i think that's a fairly apt description. "revival of the shittest" lp is quite good, but that's all i've heard. |

you should get "gang gang dance"...i like it a bit more "to revival...", some parts remind me of melvins/fantomas quite a bit...a mixture of that heavy melvins sound (appart from vocals) and delirium cordia. awesome. |

|

i've been listening to too much electronica again in the past week...and today i gave a listen to gang gang dance and it feels great. i guess i'll stick with rock this week :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, this was finally released on cd, so this might bring attention to some of you. IT'S BRILLIANT! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i haven't listened to this in a while...turned out to be great, because it's making my brain itchy again. this is brilliant and awesome!! ohh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I still want to get one of their albums. I'm going to see Animal Collective in Brooklyn when I go to NYC next week - maybe GGD will play a show while I'm in town. Have you been listening to Arcade Fire's "Funeral"? I love love love am passionately in LOVE with that record. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i haven't listened to arcade fire in quite a while actually..i have this weird thing going on that i kind of put aside every album after a few listens..and then, like it was the case with ggd, i check it out after a while again :) you should be in new york on march 18th though :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I hate to say it, but I'm not familiar with any of those groups. However, that does look really interesting. This will be my first time in New York, so I'm really looking forward to all of the art museums and shows. As far as the Arcade Fire album is concerned, I didn't care for it the first five times I listened to it. Only once I put on my headphones and went out for a walk did I "really" hear it for the first time. That album is gets better and better with each listen for me (similar to how Autechre albums operate on my nervous-system). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, i'll definitely give it a lot more listens..it's just that i got at least another 100 good albums since then.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, I picked up a Gang gang Dance album in Greenwich Village when I was in Manhattan a few days ago. I've only listened to it twice so far, but my second listening was better than the first - always a good sign. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, what are your thoughts on it after couple of listens? (honest answer preferably :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Very cool. Obviously a bit in the same general style as "Here Comes the Indian" Animal Collective and Black Dice's "Beaches and Cayons" etc. but with their own unique twist which distinguishes them. I love this type of shit, so I knew I would like it. I still need some time to familiarize myself with this album, so it remains to be seen if I will go from merely enjoying it to loving it. I also got Animal Collective's "Campfire Songs" at the same time, so I have been splitting my time between those records and all of the other ones in my current playlist (Blueberry Boat, Funeral, Meat is Murder). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, i suppose it can't take a few more listens..a friend of mine didn't think too much of it at first, but after i forced it a bit and was telling her how great i thought it was she finally burnt a copy and after that even made a radio show about them..i liked it instantly though :) |

can't=can |
||||||||

| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, well i don't mean to come off like I'm not enthusiastic about it, but two times is not alot for me regarding exposure to an album. The first two times I listened to Blueberry Boat I thought it was "interesting", but after my third time I was hopelessly addicted to it and listening to the record (all 80 minutes worth) twice a day religiously. I will say this though, I was up and dancing the second time through with track #2 :). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, nice, i didn't mean to say you weren't appreciating it enough or something, more like trying to say it can grow on you :) |
