Gang Gang Dance

I'm an enormous fan of Gang Gang Dance and I get all riled up if I find out they have new stuff in the works.  Though I enjoy speculating as to whether they are producing a new album or not, I caught a glimpse of hopeful light at the end of the tunnel that took the form of the video below.  Band member Brian Degraw is the wizard behind the very, well, just read the description:

"'Psychic Data, Atmospheric Noise' is an audio/visual ode to the present state of the shift in Universal consciousness. It is a fragment of a life that has been pushed to the fringes of science.....the melding of man and nature in the theater of waking dreams. The images and sounds are inspired by Random Number Generators, Remote Healing techniques, theories of the Noosphere, 'JLG/JLG', and 'Timepiece' by Jim Henson.

The sound in the film does not focus on "song" in the musical sense, but rather on the juxtaposition of sound and image and the power of brevity, silence, and space. The sounds consist mainly of field recordings from the town of Woodstock along with sound effects and fragments of ambiance i recorded in my studio.

Directed, Filmed, and Edited by Brian DeGraw.
Starring Tony Cox, BDG ,and Fffffrog.
Assisted by Michael James Fox.
Made possible in part by GleamHouse."

Those who are not artistically inclined or on acid should note that there is a yummy morsel of sound that starts around 4:50.

Psychic Data, Atmospheric Noise

In doing a little research for this post I discovered that our heroes have come out with a remix of FaltyDL's 'She Sleeps.'  It gets cool for me about halfway. 

Cheers!
