MACLEAN/THE RAPTURE, JUAN
Title:
Give Me Every Little Thing/Killing
Label:
DFA RECORDS
Format:
12"
Price:
$6.00
Catalog #:
DFA 2128
"DFA is finally back in the game with not one, but two new singles from artists The Juan MacLean and The Rapture. A: 'Give Me Every Little Thing is the third release from The Juan MacLean, but with even more bounce to the ounce. It is like the sound of two hard drives humping to a Hot Chocolate record. It has nothing to do with fleeting trends and everything to do with a classic jam. Vocals by Nancy Whang and James Murphy of LCD soundsystem / dfa. B: Hot off the anthem of 2002, 'House of Jealous Lovers', The Rapture return with 'Killing', the newest single off their highly anticipated debut,
Echoes
. A perfect mixture of neck snapping Neptunes-esque funk and signature DFA grit."

Title:
Sunplus
Label:
DFA RECORDS
Format:
12"
Price:
$6.00
Catalog #:
DFA 2135
"The Japanese band J.O.Y. consists of the creative forces of K.U.D.O (Major Force West, Skylab, UNKLE) and Kan Takagi (Major Force, solo artist). Both went on to make major contributions as remixers, recording artists and collaborators with everyone from David Holmes to the Psychonauts to De La Soul, as well as helped found Ape Sounds Records, an offshoot of Nigo's iconic clothing label A Bathing Ape. For the first J.O.Y. single, 'Sunplus', KUDO and Kan enlisted the help of another Japanese music legend, Yoshimi P-We of the Boredoms/OOIOO. The results were one of the most off-beat, drum heavy pop singles DFA had heard in a while. Tim Goldsworthy, on half of the DFA as well as a founding member of UNKLE and Mo Wax Records (and collaborator with Major Force West) jumped at the chance to be reunited with his old mates, once he heard the track, so Tim, and DFA partner James Murphy remixed the track into something even more sideways than the original, replaying drums and guitar and creating a strange dream-band, where Bjork fronts the Slits in No-Wave Heaven."

Der Half-Machine
Label:
DFA RECORDS
Format:
10"
Price:
$7.50
Catalog #:
DFA 2136EP
"After three seminal electro-dance singles, we see yet another angle of Juan MacLean on this latest release, titled perhaps a humble nod to our Teutonic electronic godfathers. 'I Robot' takes a subby acid-tinged Trans-European trip down the Autobahn (or maybe some crappy Midwestern freeway). Frantic synth lines weave from lane to lane, and analog bleeps remind that the Polizia aren't far behind. As the song reaches its midpoint, the drums slow, a choral sample rises, and utter paranoia blindsides us. Tough and gentle at the same time, it is techno that can be played in the club, in the car or in the bedroom."

Title:
Creature Comforts
Label:
DFA RECORDS
Format:
CD
Price:
$15.00
Catalog #:
DFA 2137CD
"This is the official follow-up to their DFA debut CD and Double LP
Beaches & Canyons
. It finds the band pushing in yet another direction, at once unmistakably Black Dice, and noticeably different. Recorded with Steve Revitte (Liars, Kill Me Tomorrow), the DFA & Nicolas Vernhes (Fisherspooner, Fiery Furnaces). Venturing further into their own psychedelic, increasingly electronic world,
Creature Comforts
is as expansive, experimental and structurally unique as its predecessor, but there is a new sense of playfulness and accessibility mixed with naïve wonder and not-quite-steady rhythms. It is hazy, dreamy, but they have suddenly emerged as a band with an untouchably original terrain, mixing dub, Tropicalia and the entire history of psychedelic rock music into one heady concoction."

Title:
Yr City's A Sucker
Label:
DFA RECORDS
Format:
12"
Price:
$7.50
Catalog #:
DFA 2143EP
"DFA Records takes what was meant as a UK B-Side for the album's first single 'Movement' and gives it the good ol' 12-inch vinyl treatment, with vocal and instrumental versions. Both the rock and dance genres are given equal time and respect and the song morphs and chants its way into a giggling, grooving stew. The vocal version has been added to the debut album, but this 12" is USA-only and exclusive to DFA Records."

Catalog #:
DFA 2157EP
"The latest release from New York avant-garde leaders Black Dice features three brand new tracks that further refine the industrial, beat-driven direction of their last album,
Broken Ear
. Coinciding with the release of this 12" single (which includes a full-color poster designed by Bjorn Copeland), Black Dice team up with longtime friend and photographer Jason Frank Rothenberg on a collection of found images, photographs, and collages. Entitled 'Gore,' this flexi-bound, full-color book documents both the making of the aforementioned album and the cut-and-paste, psychedelic aesthetic that has influenced a whole new generation of artists and musicians."

Catalog #:
DFA 2141CD
"DFA lynchpin and LCD Soundsystem honcho James Murphy returns with a brand new single taken from his highly anticipated debut album. As for what 'Movement' is about....in James' own words...
'That's mostly about the 'new rock', which is a movement without the bother of having any meaning. You know a journalistic movement that announces, 'Rock is back! The guitar is back!' Whoo-hoo. But for what? Its like saying, 'The high-waisted pant is back!' Its fucking vacuous and the bands are tedious. They all sound like The MC5. I get excited about The White Stripes 'cos they're some people who are obviously trying to do something of their own. But most bands will never be good because they don't even ask themselves why they're bothering until its too late.'
This is probably a good time to bring up the major influence on James's vocal style. The Fall's Mark E Smith haunts this album's more testy testimonies. James makes no attempt to pretend it's an accident. 'Movement' is released on 2 track CD and 7" backed with another new (and exclusive) track 'Yr City's A Sucker'."

Label:

Format:
2x12"
Price:
$18.00
Catalog #:
DFA 2194EP
"The second single to be taken from Shocking Pinks' self-titled debut album. Bittersweet and vulnerable, 'Emily' is a hypnotic and moody song that tells the age-old story of longing, jealousy and heartache, in Nick Harte's distinctive shoegaze style. It's one of the most personal moments on the record, with a beautiful and fragile overtone covering the rough layers of distortion and noise. The single comes backed with an exclusive cover of Magnetic Fields' 'Nothing Matters When We're Dancing,' plus remixes of album track 'Cutout' and 'Dressed to Please,' which had a limited release as a B-side to limited 7"
The Narrator
. The remixes range from Expanding Head Band (ex-Tussle member Alexis Georgopoulos) and disco-edit scenester Lee Douglas, to techno favorites, Deepchord/Echospace and Nathan Fake."
