Live blogging the P4K Top 20 “Songs of 2011”: Part 20

Oh, that’s right! Gang Gang Dance released a new album this year. (Everyone will soon find out that I, somewhat purposefully, did not listen to a majority of the buzzworthy albums of 2011. Comments and insults will be accepted; I am quite aware of how terrible this revelation makes me.)

All that aside — this Kraftwerkian 11 minute superjam has all the makings of everything I loved in 2008: Flittering, icy loops; indeterminate vocals bathed in layers of delay and reverb; cheesy steel drum patches likely swiped from a vintage MIDI bank. And while the song’s aesthetic qualities are indicative of a delightfully refined shift in GGD’s sonic explorations, it’s exactly these “nostalgic” undertones that push me away from fully enjoying “Glass Jar”; tastes change, and mine have changed so drastically within the past five years or so that it’s really no wonder why I had not heard any of GGD’s new material until now.

Although my semi-autistic, minimal electronic jam days are behind me, this is not to say I find “Glass Jar” unlistenable. GGD uses the track’s daunting running time to their advantage, endlessly building upon layers of intricate melodies before exploding into a kaleidoscopic whirl of carefully constructed cacophony. It’s the lost soundtrack to a bootleg Sega Genesis cartridge — and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
