| |
| "gang gang dance seems to have found the g-spot of the universe" -time |
| out new york |
| |
| "the extremely aural intensity of gang gang dance draws you into an |
| experience of negotiation from which a humane and harmonic beauty |
| emerges" -artforum magazine |
| |
| We are proud to present Gang Gang Dance's much anticipated second full |
| length release entitled God's Money. With God's Money Gang Gang Dance |
| creates a modern music which reorients the palette of electronic music |
| into an organic context, manipulating sound, rhythm and melody in an |
| almost mercurial manner. Painstakingly recorded over the course of a |
| year at Junkyard Audio Salvage, the band utilized whatever means were |
| available to them to craft their sound: drums of all shapes, sizes and |
| circuits, various keyboards and synthesizers, midi-triggering guitar |
| scenarios, vocals reconfigured via a guitar effect pedal and even the |
| occasional aluminum chair. Blending their hypnotic rhythms into a highly |
| structured compositional style or soaring in the lofty heights of |
| practiced improvisation, this recording follows in the footsteps of the |
| bands previous output, all while marking new ground. |
| |
| In between writing and recording God's Money GGD spent the last year |
| playing to packed houses in NYC, Europe and on the road with Animal |
| Collective. Exploding with an energy & confidence rarely seen these days |
| and coupling it with such a heightened level of musicianship the band |
| has turned even the most casual of spectators into full on believers. |
| With magazines such as The Wire, The Village Voice, I.D. & XLR8R having |
| already run features on the band, the press is falling into the ranks of |
| the converted. |
| |
| God's Money is the height of GGD's uncompromising sonic pursuit which |
| has spanned the better part of the bandÆs five year history. Some of |
| this can be gleamed from previous groups the members have been in, |
| including Cranium, Actress, Ssaab Songs & Angel Blood. Though God's |
| Money may be interpreted as the band's high-water mark of sorts it is |
| much more the raising of the tide as they continually to push the |
| boundaries of the palette of sound itself with no sign waning. |
