My Rating: 3.8/5
Listen Music Samples
Watch 4AD Live Session
Watch Primavera 2011 Live Video
I think Gang Gang Dance is one of the most original and adventurous indie bands in last decade amongst the peers like Animal Collective, etc. Their music is just hard to classify that mix assorted music influences and lot of weird ideas like afro-beat, techno synth, samples, electronics, etc. with their unique devil-angel vocal, Lizzi Bougatsos, to make their music something uniquely psychedelic, hip, cool and unstoppable……they just can create something unique that represent the nowadays young generation like other greats in their own generations!!!
‘Eye Contact’ is already the 5th album and also the debut for 4AD label from this full-of-excitement everything-unexpected Manhattan-based band since their formation in 2001………musically this time is still the same stuff same direction as their previous albums, but just turn out to be more refined, planned, mature and solid music of their own!!!......a bit like walking in the same path as Animal Collective that are now to be everyone’s favourite and try to making their music more big-band-like…..Who knows it’s good or bad? But for sure it’s more refined, well-produced and less adventurous as well as less surprised!!!! For those people like music adventure, ‘Eye Contact’ or nowadays Gang Gang Dance might be not too hitting the G-spot of their music taste anymore!!!
