Gang Gang Dance

Emerging from the same experimental scene as Animal Collective and Black Dice, Gang Gang Dance blend African rhythms, Middle Eastern dance music, industrial, noise, grime and more. Today's skewed pop and eerie vocals are less chaotic than their earlier work, glistening with Arabian synth lines and delayed out shimmer guitar.

“Correct us if we're wrong, but the album of 2008 has just arrived on our doormat. It's called Saint Dymphna, and it's by Gang Gang Dance. 'One of the best albums we've heard all year... astonishing in it's breadth and quality'.
Fact Magazine

“Their sound is natural yet manmade, gangsta yet gentle at varying turns throughout their seemingly improvised sound.”

“… St. Dymphna spins scattered global sounds into a dance both ethereal and ecstatic.”
Plan B Magazine

“St. Dymphna is a super- produced, dancefloor-ready rebooting of tribal psych… The eclecticism is exhilarating…”
Uncut Magazine

“Gang Gang Dance may now ascend to the bona fide league of geniuses.”
NME

“St. Dymphna further ups Gang Gang Dance's ritualistic ante and might be their best yet.”

“It all sounds wonderful, sparkling and glistening.”

“Their album is enormous” - Dave Sitek, TV on the Radio

”Gang Gang are the sound of some soon to be found tribe lurking in the wigs of forever. Gang Gang Dance seamlessly blend the sound of something so otherworldy while seeming so familiar. The pied pipers of Never Never Land.” - Simon Taylor, Klaxons

"Gang Gang Dance are my favourite group going right now - and have been for a few years. Their live shows are incredible, their sound completely unique and inventive. It is rare to hear music so exciting and full of ideas. They've got a good beat, and I can bug-out to it." - Alexis Taylor, HOT CHIP
