GANG GANG DANCE “There’s a band called Gang Gang Dance that really, really needs to be heard.” - NME “It’s as if the group found a cassette shop in Queens selling dead-stock, early 80s African, Jamaican and Middle-Eastern music and fused it with Lizzie Bougatsos’ Kate Bush, Lizzy Mercier’s Descloux inflections, and some Raggaeton/Dancehall elements. Hopefully, it’s just a primer of what is to come.” - Soma “Everything they do has an air of “wow, totally” to it.” - Vice Gang Gang Dance spent the better part of 2006 writing, performing, and recording new material for the follow up to 2005’s acclaimed God’s Money. They spent time tracking at Staygold Studios in Brooklyn with Chris Coady (TV On The Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Blonde Redhead), in Louisville Kentucky with Paul Oldham (who recorded their self-titled debut album) and then mixing at The Social Registry’s Junkyard Audio Salvage with Matt Boynton. RAWWAR was the first glimpse of exactly what the band were up to during that time. Clocking in at just over twenty minutes and sprawled across three tracks, the release plays like a Gang Gang Dance sampler of sorts. With this release GGD provide a blueprint for their musical trajectory as they skip from pop song to improvisation to abstract dense studio composition. |
