Hailing from the experimental arena, Gang Gang Dance are back with another album of surpreme delights. Released last week in both the UK and the US
Known as the band impossible to categorise, they appear to capture a psychedelic electro slash world music vibe. Starting with a hellishly long opener with 'Glass Jar', this album moves into different zones of their own musical niche after rejoicing together from various Manhattan
There are no special guests like there was with Tinchy Stryder's in 'Princes', but with vocalist Lizzi Bougatsos talent's beautifully highlighted on 80s-esque 'Adult Goth' and 'Thru and Thru', there is clearly noone else needed.
The song 'Chinese High' moves the ten track into a lighter electro feel before the new single 'Mindkilla' plays out as an amazing synth dance track.
The band have previously released 4 albums after signing with the independent record label The Social Registry in 2004, with the most recent one being Saint Dymphna in 2008. However, they have certainly moved things forward with Eye Contact as we hear a variety of funky echos in 'Romance Layers' and synth sounds in 'OO OO OO'.
Having just played All Tomorrow's Parties as well as The Great Escape last week, GGD are touring through Europe before heading back to the US
This is an album for those summer night highs so go grab yours now and start enjoying an eclectic mixture of musical sorts.
