Gang Gang Dance - Glass Jar / Mindkilla

Do I always review these guys? I've been reasonably excited about new material as that Saint Dymphna LP was largely a total treat. Now on 4AD, they haven't compromised their druggy, cosmic vision. They've just made it crisper & more widescreen than ever. I'm a big lover of the mindset they often land me in. Managing to splice ethereal & tropical moods with euphoric, dizzying fizzing synths into a bobbing, swirling hyper-pop odyssey like the epic 'Glass Jar' is quite an achievement really. They're an odd bunch with a very unusual outlook but somehow they always impress me. 'MindKilla' is another slice of kuduro inspired sky-scraping weird-pop with Lizzi's childlike voice heavily bent & mangled over a floor-wrecking Buraka Som Sistema-esque beat with some fantastic psychedelic synth action borrowed from the fringes of modern bass music. So it could realistically result in a catoonish nightmare but in the hands of these hardy post-rave experimentalists you're in safe hands
