Prinzhorn Danceschool I've never really got til now. Crackerjack Docker is a cracking single and it's called Crackerjack Docker which I'm reasonably sure is something filthy This is a slack sounding lazy tune with a real Fall-esque vibe. I think it's the bass line that makes this. It drives along in the most slackarsed fashion with some crappy sounding drums punctuated by ridiculous vocals. That's what makes it though. A lot of the DFA stuff leaves me cold but this rules.... As does the forthcoming Shocking Pinks stuff which is excellent!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Prinzhorn Dance School release their new single ‘Crackerjack Docker’ on the 6th August.  It follows on from 2 limited edition 7" singles on DFA - 'You Are The Space Invader' and 'Up! Up! Up!' - and numerous dates across the UK including various headline shows over the last few months and supporting LCD Soundsystem on their UK tour earlier this year.

Taken from the upcoming (self-titled) album 'Crackerjack Docker’ was written in a disused chapel (a space the band call home) - beside a motorway, overlooking a dockyard.

‘Crackerjack Docker’ exemplifies the unique, raw and natural simplicity of the music that Tobin Prinz and Suzi Horn create. Drums, bass and wiry guitar are enjoined in a delicate balancing act where what isn't happening, the space and silence, is just as important as what is.

“We wrote this song with the drums very much about work related noises. The drums are about hard graft. We did not hardly sleep when we made the record. It was non stop. We also spent a lot of time on the b-sides for this single. We try to make b-sides like a-sides but just on side b. It is not fair to buy a record and have a piece of crap on side b. Or some shitty remix of the a side.”
