Gang Gang Dance Artist Snapshot:

Cobbled from the ashes of several defunct Brooklyn-based outfits, Gang Gang Dance is a loose confederation of artists and musicians who explore a kind of modern-day tribalism through percussion-heavy, electronics-aided avant rock. Liz Bougatsos's variously chanted and sung vocals evoke Middle Eastern sonorities as well as modern rockers like Kate Bush. The group's live shows displayed a penchant for off-kilter improvisation, winning them accolades with fans of free-form folk and experimental music. The year 2008 saw the appearance of a video documentary for the Whitney Biennial, a prestigious survey of contemporary American art. In August 2008, the group coordinated the Brooklyn wing of "88Boadrum," a bi-coastal concert featuring 88 drummers performing in spiral formation.

Review

Spin (p.108) - "[T]his clattering groove could convert even the most doubting hipster." -- Grade: B+
Uncut (p.116) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[A] bewitching racket that echoes MBV, Can and, in singer Lizzie Bougatsos, an Arabic-sounding Kate Bush."
The Wire (p.56) - "Each sound seems to spawn another, as if the group were one big cell dividing and regenerating, but he most stunning single element is Bougatso's voice. Her hypnotic, airy singing steers the group's orchestrated chaos, tying the din into a singular coherence."

Title Note

Influenced in equal doses by Afrobeat pioneers like Fela Kuti and avant-underground noisemakers like Swans, Brooklyn's Gang Gang Dance found their voice on their second full-length, MONEY. It incorporates all manner of distorted vocal loops, dissonant percussive elements, and melodically demented keyboards. The end result is songs like "God's Money V," which synthesize into a rhythm that emerges by the force of disparate elements magnetically mashing together. "Nomad For Love (Cannibal)" best illustrates GOD'S intent: to prove that something beautiful can develop organically (and mysteriously) from stream-of-consciousness sounds, if both artist and listener are just patient enough.
