I sure dig that line from "Afoot" off the new Gang Gang Dance record Saint Dymphna (Social Registry). It bleeds frustration, ignorance, and inevitability, but more so is just one piece of a quite brilliant sounding record by a band I had (unfortunately) forgotten about until buzz surrounding this record surfaced. GGD keep the tribal quota filled on the album, while entirely embracing any dance aspects they had explored before and beyond. "Desert Storm" kicks ass, "Bebey," the opener, is also great, swirling around until the beat drops to kickstart the album, just as the last track "Dust" trails off into oblivion. I'm disappointed I don't think I get to see GGD this time around. They played with Of Montreal in Boston 10/30 but I had checked Of Montreal in NYC 10/9 so I didn't make the trek, and GGD's playing with Marnie Stern (whose record is nuts) but nothing closer that NYC I believe.
P.S. One of my favorite cover arts of the year.

Also just stumbled upon this, a remix of "House Jam" off Saint Dymphna by XXXchange from Spank Rock. Peep that here.
