mahoneys voice vacillates smoothly between ghostly and falsetto, while mcnanys arrangements and instrumentation bump, click, and whirr like a lovingly tuned rube goldberg jukebox. not too surprising, perhaps, considering they named the band after a song by schizophrenic outsider favorite daniel johnston, and they cite harry nilsson and roxy music as influences. (vibe)

mit museum of love reiht das geschmackssichere label dfa einen weiteren release in den reigen für 2014 ein. am 10.10. erscheint das gleichnamige debütalbum des duos, bestehend aus pat mahoney, seines zeichens gründungsmitglied von lcd soundsystem und dennis mcnanny aka jee day. zusammen bilden sie museum of love, eine direkte anspielung auf daniel johnstons song, verrät mahoney: *i had always loved the song, and had been thinking of what such an edifice would contain when we were trying to name the project*, und mcnanny weiter *pat is a sculptor, i am a painter, we make music and museums are sacred spaces and love is an elusive thing.* die produktion, instrumentierung und das songwriting lag im aufgabenbereich von mcnanny, während sich mahoney um den gesang und um die drums kümmerte. ein detailreiches disco-house album, das sich perfekt in das sound-regal von dfa einreiht. die vinyl-lp erscheint im klappcover, download-code inklusive.

!k7 are pleased to announce forest swords as the next curator of the ever essential dj-kicks series. following acclaimed albums on ninja tune and tri angle, soundtrack and installation work, and remixes of the likes of bjork, matthew barnes aka forest swords has curated a 25-track compilation that draws a line between past inspirations and his current peers. like much of his own output, his dj-kicks skirts around pristine electronics and embraces more organic textures: 80s post punk (anna domino, dead can dance), classic 90s british electronica (orbital, mira calix), and smokey digi-dub (rhythm & sound), all rub up alongside some of the most forward-facing producers working today (demdike stare, laurel halo, fis). the compilation sifts through rhythms, shifting speeds and emotions: from pop icon neneh cherrys primal thudding to the zombified throb of exclusive forest swords track crow via deena abdelwaheedÕs clattering deconstructions to the euphoric two-step of djrum. its a collection of tracks that feels as restlessly curious and weighty as barnes own work.
