I think I may have a song by them on this really great compilation called "They Keep Me Smiling," on obscure microlabel Uunited Acoustic Recordings. $34.00, but worth it. Seek it out - NICE!

i really think they should drop the electro-dance angle (i was sympathetic but unimpressed w/ the juan mclean, J.O.Y., leotard front, etc)
then they could put all their energy into doing things like d&g, more black dice / EYE remixes, more ten-minute drummy kraut pixeltan remixes, etc ... they should produce a kevin drumm album or something ...

"yeah (pretentious mix)" - the payoff is the final, spasmodic timbale/drum solo at the end, where after eleven or so minutes of restrained, tasteful percussion-tapping the dude just breaks out into this endless drumroll that ends in what sounds like a whole wall of pots and pans clattering to the floor.
"get up say what (dfa remix)" - the payoff is those endless change-offs between hissy hi-hat action and thugged-out bassline sections ... it's almost like a call-and-response between the parts where the bass is high in the mix and the parts where the hats are real high - it's basically live filter disco, right?
i feel like "casual friday" has the endless noodling of classic instrument-led disco (believe me, i'm a big fan of the joey negro / dj harvey / dimitri sound) but without the freakouts that leaven it. or, put another way, it's like filter disco, without the filters - sort of an endless circular groove (and not really all that functional, compared to the monstergrooves of "yeah" or "beat connection") that goes nowhere.

― mizzell, Thursday, 4 May 2017 14:22 (six years ago) link
Horse Follows Darkness is the second record by Delia Gonzalez, her follow up to the album “In Remembrance”. The title is taken from a werewolf genre film her 8 year old son Wolfgang had created. At this time, Wolfgang also turned Delia onto a genre of cinema she had always resisted - the American Western.
"Delia explains that what she observed “was all relevant - the album is based on our personal experience of moving back to America (from Berlin) and the journey that followed. The record is a manifestation of that, and what one creates for themselves under the given circumstances. Coming back to America, I felt like a foreigner and NYC / America felt like the Wild West. Most Westerns from the 1960s to the present have revisionist themes. Many were made by emerging major filmmakers who saw the Western as an opportunity to expand their criticism of American society and values into a new genre.”
The narrative of the record is one of re-encountering the frontier mentality that shaped the country but somehow never faded. This time as a foreigner. The genre of the Western remains pertinent, many of the same stories of that brutally deromanticised era are still relevant today. America hasn’t changed - the cast, times and settings have, but we still hold onto the same ideal. Horse Follows Darkness is essentially a modern electronic soundtrack for the Revisionist Western. Even the idea for the record cover is inspired by one of the most well known modern Westerns, Robert Altman’s McCabe & Mrs Miller.
The album was recorded with Abe Seiferth at Transmitter Park studios, which Delia likens to “going to the finest tailor”. Abe became an integral part of the recording, playing guitar and helping to suggest experimenting with different synthesizers, something Delia was keen to do. Delia refers to Abe as a magical and incredibly intuitive collaborator” regarding the sound of the record. The music that emerged from these recording sessions combines a range of influences - from the compositions of Erik Satie to ‘Salon De Musique’, the solo piano record by Su Tissue (of the L.A. punk band Suburban Lawns). The record also took on a much different shape and sound with the introduction of the Sequential Circuits Prophet VS, as well as a vintage Korg Poly synth and the Roland SH-101. The golden era Krautrock recordings of bands like Neu!, Cluster & Harmonia were touchstones as well, the repetition, swirling soundscapes and locked-in rhythm tracks.”

I love Casual Friday to death. One I managed to play it during a set, blended into something else around the halfway point, played other stuff for an hour or so, then blended back into the second half of it to end the set; it went over REALLY well.
I would also call Days of Mars the best LP ever released on DFA.
― The Troops™ (jamescobo), Thursday, 6 August 2020 00:50 (three years ago) link
Yeah probably right. Feel like I'm ready to hear some DFA stuff again, most best of stuff focuses on the first golden age (circa 04?) But would really enjoy a recap of the good stuff coming out around 09 that felt like a great second wind

Gavilán interview:https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/gavilan-rayna-russom-on-why-she-left-lcd-soundsystem/
Not long after unveiling Voluminous Arts, Russom contracted a severe case of COVID-19. “Largely why I didn’t go to the hospital is because my local hospital is Elmhurst [in Queens, New York], and, at the time there were refrigerator trucks of dead bodies outside,” she said. “There were no beds…. At that point going to the hospital seemed worse than dying on my couch.” Russom says that she still experiences persistent post-COVID symptoms, such as migraines and disorientation, which factored into her hesitance to perform live.
