Gang Gang Dance 'Glass Jar'

Gang Gang Dance, New York's supreme musical backsliders, have returned. They are steaming 'Glass Jar', the opener off their new LP, and it's pretty odd, as you might expect. It's a 12-minute, synth-laden freakout, initially pierced with many a clatter and many a wail. But the song develops; there are (only) around 7 minutes of this deranged psychedelia before their trademark blending of Asiatic vocals and chiming keys re-enlists itself marvellously.

The New Yorkians have deftly snuck back onto our radars, revitalised, and on superfine form at that. New album, Eye Contact, is out May 4th on 4AD. Stream 'Glass Jar' below:
