CMU Approved
Approved: Gang Gang Dance – Glass Jar
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 3 March 2011
Following the announcement earlier this year that they had signed to 4AD, Gang Gang Dance yesterday unveiled the opening track from their first album for the legendary label, ‘Eye Contact’. Entitled ‘Glass Jar’, the song is just shy of twelve minutes in length, in which time the band take you on an utterly beautiful journey that merges swirly psychedelia with mainstream R&B. You can hear it for yourself on the band’s website, as linked below.
The song will be made available as a limited edition twelve-inch on 4 Apr, and the same week the band will play a one-off show in London at Village Underground. They’ll then be back again in May for more dates around the album’s release, including appearances at The Great Escape and the Animal Collective-curated All Tomorrow’s Parties. If ‘Glass Jar’ is anything to go by, May is going to be an exciting month for Gang Gang Dance fans.
