I would never have pegged (ahem, sorry) 'Itgehane' for number one song of the year, but I voted for it, and it's the best track in the top ten so I'm happy.
― emil.y, Thursday, 31 January 2019 23:03 (five years ago) link
like "inspector norse" "itgehane" came out towards the beginning of the calendar year and just felt inescapable on dancefloors for the twelve months that followed. i think that type of lead time helps on polls like this for bobbins tracks. also it's extremely warm and feel-good
― monotony, Thursday, 31 January 2019 23:03 (five years ago) link
"Itgehane" is nice, but I didn't like it enough to include it in my ballot, tho I'm definitely happy it won instead of some fartsy rock song. Still, it makes me wonder if ILX ever gets tired of this specific kind of retro sound in dance music, I certainly have.

I'm listening to the Peggy Gou again and still not really getting it.
Without wanting to use the phrase 'wall-paper music', I feel like this arch, head-noddy vibe has been done to death. The combination of Gou's detached delivery and the two-chord keys scream 'pastiche' to me - a takeoff of mid-2000s hipster house culture or the kind of music that got played in trendy city bars as an aural cushion.
Listening closer, I'll say it is wonderfully layered and there's some quite nice bubbly 303 stuff, but track of the year?

I remember back in 2012 thinking that "Inspector Norse" was really great and nice and bouncy but being slightly surprised at all the praise, and then I spent the next five years watching it blow up dancefloors and fill everyone thereon with such joy.
I wouldn't be surprised if "Itgehane" has a pretty long shelflife actually.
