Release Notes:
--------------
Finally! For four years The Dance Inc. have been spooking through the
subconscious of the German pop scene. Two vibrant EPs and countless
concerts, hymns of praise from the press, hushed rumors and the notion
that something great is happening - all that left us anxious on what is
to come, waiting for the big bang to happen. But we had to wait longer
and longer. The Dance Inc. appeared and disappeared again in short
flashes, strangely unreachable. And now, finally, the band is complete.
What happened all the while in Hamburg? The Dance Inc. morphed slowly
but steadily from the synthesizer-heavy Soft Cell-esque duo of Jan
Elbeshausen and Stefan Paul Goetsch to an organic live band. Andre
Frahm joined the band in 2005 on drums. Everything fitted perfectly and
only a short while later, producer Tobias Levin (Tocotronic, Kante,
Slut etc.) took notice of The Dance Inc. Sharing the same enthusiasm
for each others work, they decided to record the first album together.
The band locked itself into the rehearsal room and worked relentlessly
on their vision of pop music. The music should be glittering in its
very own sheen - both fragile and confident, bouncing gracefully across
the streets, if you know what we mean. They were ready to break for new
ground. In the summer of 2006 they entered Levin's studio, the
'Electric Avenue' and undertook an exciting journey, full of
challenges, dangers and moments filled with soul. It ended happily.
This is the result. "Legs And Arms".
And how are we supposed to describe that?
First, its pop, of course. And from now on its like catching a fox with
bare hands. The Dance Inc. are made for the dance floor, but they are
no electronic live act. They are a band with vocals, drums, bass,
guitars, loops and samples. An organic entity supercharged with
electricity. Torn between the synthetic and pure soul, digitalism and
rock, liedkunst and loops. The distinguished elegance of 80's glamour
pop meets the driving escapism of modern electronica in songs full of
beauty and clarity, grace and urgency, songs that shine and shimmer
like snow underneath a mirror ball. :)
