Gosh, what a perfect day!!
Quote:
The heavens opened, the clouds parted, and what did appear? Why, Saint Dymphna, the new Gang Gang Dance LP, due October 21 on the Social Registry in North America and on Warp in the UK, Europe, and Australia.
The ten track set-- touched on briefly in a Pitchfork news interview with Gang leader Brian DeGraw back in April of 2007-- is the follow-up to 2005's God's Money. Saintly track "Princes", which features grime MC Tinchy Stryder, is being referred to in the press material as "the weirdest Gang Gang Dance track...you've ever heard"-- if true, that is really somethin'.
Saint Dymphna will be preceded by a single for album cut "House Jam" backed with a Hot Chip remix (they're fans, I'm told) and joined by a free digital download of another remix of the "Jam" by XXXChange.
The Gang will play a handful of Stateside dates later on in the summer before heading to Japan for a little while in September.
Saint Dymphna:
01 Holy Communion
02 Blue Nile
03 Vacuum
04 Princes
05 Inner Pace
06 Afoot
07 House Jam
08 Interlude (No Known Home)
09 Desert Storm
10 Dust

Can't wat to hear it! That's one of my favorite bands.
It's really great they got on Warp - though The Social Registry is one of my favorite labels catalogue-wise, their records are not that well distributed there
