I read that Alan Sparhawk from Low said (about God’s Money), “I keep playing that [Gang Gang Dance] record. It flies in the face of everything I know to be true in the world.” The music that NYC’s Gang Gang Dance creates is definitely something that you don’t hear everyday. It is experimental electronic music that somehow remains very organic in nature. They combine masses disparate sounds that come together effortlessly. Rhythmic and interesting and something my daughter would like as much as I do.
“While GGD certainly aren’t the only purveyors of new sounds operating nowadays, it occurs to me that with God’s Money, they are proving themselves to be among the most able. And listenable. Granted, as good musicians they integrate the tools of the popular music synthesizers, guitars, drum kits as well as folk instrumentation and singing (which might more appropriately be described as cooing) while simultaneously subverting any expectation of pop song structure. But rather than just subversion for the sake of disorientation, they are respectful of their audience and seek to create music that will be able to speak to them, albeit in a new language.” – Tiny Mix Tapes
They are certainly breaking new ground and making new sounds. Those new sounds can be heard on God’s Money which is out now on The Social Registry.
