To mark the release of fourth album Eye Contact, Brooklyn's Gang Gang Dance is the latest act to record a 4AD Session. Filmed in early April at Angelic Studios in the heart of rural England, the band convened in a purposefully built 20ft square mirrored room, encased by endless reflections of themselves.
Inspired by the so-called 'infinity rooms' of the seminal Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, the construction of the space comprised most of the time allotted to recording. Consequently, the session didn't begin until midnight, and continued through until sunrise the next day. Inevitability, the twilight hours suffused the performance with a subtle euphoria, which allayed with the warped environment crated by the mirrors, touched the renditions of 'Glass Jar' and 'Adult Goth' with an otherworldly quality.
With the idea to create all effects live in the space sans digital manipulation, the resulting performance channeled a raw responsiveness to the music as it was being played, as witnessed in the 15 minute take on the visceral dancehall of 'MindKilla' and the Balearic feel of 'Chinese High'. Indeed, spontaneity was key to the entire session. 'MindKilla' was recorded in one take and improvised to include an exclusive airing of previously unreleased track, 'KOU-DA-LEY', while 'Adult Goth' likewise segues into a delirious version of 'Bond'. Adding to the room's ambience, the hanging crystals lent a prismatic quality, rendering the kaleidoscope of Eye Contact in primary colours, and helping mark the session as a true landmark in the series.

People commenting negativity really showcase the open subjectivity to music. Also that they have no clue. This is total idiosynchratic neo punk art ironic charm at its best.
This is a decent live performance of a great song. I was expecting something bad from all the negative comments here, but no, this is literally just a decent live performance of Chinese High. The world is strange sometimes
You know your band does a lot of acid when one of the members is there solely to operate a mirror.
keep it up girl. I love the way you enjoy your voice as an instrument. Lovely.
Lots of people say this sort of thing, but I just wanted to thank Gang Gang Dance for this. I know it's a competitive industry but I hope one day to do just like them. Basically what I'm trying to say is this is what inspired me to try and become a professional drug addict.
the chinese writing says, 'i can speak chinese, good morning'
lol i think that's what it says. and i'm chinese. lol.
wow, checked out this random video and I love it and this band!
To each their own man, but you're wrong. This band is incredible.
I always think it sounds like "Inspiration" - Section 25. The both are amazing!
I'm my humble opinion this the best 4AD Session yet. But, sadly, it seems like the 4AD site has been down for 2 days, so I can't watch this sonic delicacy in its entirety. I'm freaking out :-(
Sounds like Karen Dreijer and I don't hear anyone complaining about her voice. 🤷♀️
excellent live. see them at bottom of the hill S.F. california
this song is much better on the album
apesar da voz de gata miada eu gosto muito
Yoko much? So glad bEEdEEgEE is out. Finally you can hear the music without the annoyance.
except yoko wrote like all of the good john songs and was a musical genius. good try
I used to have that flannel hoodie in hischool!
this it's great!
I didn't feel anything. But thanks for the effort guys.
Interesting stuff :) There's shades of 808 State's and Richard H Kirk's music in there...Which is not a bad combination at all. I could grow to like this band :)
addictive! so addictive! cant get enough of this!
最高かっこいい
i think the title of the track could possibly be referring to Eric-1 and Eric-2 ;)
Good music! Bringing me to an Indian-Android-Electronica-Disco dimension. Words uttered are more like indian not chinese. lol
@weemanpc he's the keeper of good vibes. when i saw 'em live, he was dancing all over the stage and clapping and burning sage and slapping a tamourine and shit.
wow
Can anyone post the lyrics to this song? I cant make out anything fro it.
me too
Nothing really new,Going on here,...Just a lot of cross overs"...Incredible production.
Peace*
Anyone know what she's wearing around her neck? Is that a piece?
我也會說中文，晚安
@derived12 It's ok bro... me too
Reminds me of Jarre's Calipso
Why is it called Chinese High?
@derived12 me too
@andemalungo AHHAuaahhaha , num é rapaz!!
Hmm
Sounds a bit like reggae for Andy Pandy to me but perhaps I'm oldskool.

oh god this is like listening to a female "tonetta"
She'll be my houri
wow ... who would have thought the 90s would be retro already? can't stand the vocal, sounds like yoko ono on helium
You are so right, my immediate association was Yoko Ono with her tragic squeaks. Can't stand this, it's not my type of vocal.
what the fuck is it supposed to be

海豚性
..uhhh really? i don't. There's nothing ethereal about her voice. Though i love these guys.
No es maravilloso, pero tampoco basura.
yeah i'm not digging her live vocals, unfortunately, especially the chorus...
otherwise this would really be good tho
A combination of musical genius and irritating vocal yawn.
this comment was more entertaining than whatever the fuck this was.
wow its crap
This is just awful.
Huh... 4AD has become a joke now.
