I was not fond of Gang Gang Dance from their beginnings. They sounded too noisy for my taste back then. But they did evolve, moving their music forward by implementing influences from various other forms of their art and cultures too. And it seems they're onto something serious here. No, don;t be afraid, I do not mean it in a stiff, uptight manner. They even sound more relaxed than ever. But their music is now more coherent as a whole. Uplifting. Still weird though - in that good, organic, guttural way. They sound pop but this is not what one would call pop, no sir. Rather, they use pop stuff to punctuate their more abstract and far-out music in ways that make it sound more familiar and friendly. Spiritual even. "Our dreaming space is open" is one of the lyrics of their songs here. It is indeed. And we're in it to dream along.
