GANG GANG DANCE “Thoroughly enveloping, with a mesmerizing, vertiginous charm.” - New York Times Gang Gang Dance's landmark second studio album God’s Money shows the band creating a modern music that 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 2004 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 Gang Gang Dance spent spent time playing to packed houses in NYC, Europe and on the road with Animal Collective. Exploding with an energy and confidence rarely seen these days and coupling it with such a heightened level of musicianship the band turned even the most casual of spectators into full on believers. God’s Money is the height of GGD’s uncompromising sonic pursuit which has spanned the better part of the band’s at that point five year history. Some of this can be gleamed from previous groups the members have been in, including The Cranium, Actress, Ssaab Songs and 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. |
