Product Description

"Saint Dymphma", named after the patron saint of outsiders, is the band's follow-up to the acclaimed "God's Money". They've taken an even dancier, inclusive direction that continues to emphasize the ritualistic elements of their music while upping the transcendent aspects. The production is pristine cinematic headphone candy with 70's Eno intricacy and 00's Timbaland immediacy that will hold your attention while Gang Gang Dance continue to push things forward.

4.0 out of 5 stars i really wanted this new ggd release to deliver..., November 22, 2008

By	Mr. Aaron H. Levine (tallahassee, florida United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

and saint dymphna is a decent album. the song lengths are shorter and the compositions are more condensed so you basically get more bang for your buck, though the ggd style shines through in all its new age world breakbeat twitter rock glory. a guest vocalist appears on 'princes', a grime dancehall guy which is ok, but there are some quieter, slower moments on the album, although the classic ggd flourishes have always been the attraction for me. this album provides something new from ggd that is familiar but developed in a good direction. also try 'gods money' and 'revival of the $hittest' if you can find it.

5.0 out of 5 stars psychedelic music, January 11, 2009

By	Pascal Petitdemange "pascal" (france) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

saint dymphna is a beautiful psychedelic album, i think it's the best album of GGD, the music is the best i heard this all-year, i wait for "merryweather post pavillion" from animal collective, what else ? nothing, bands such as everything between sigur ros, radiohead, tv on the radio and metronomy are good but they can't fight between GGD and animal collective, it's enough i think, that is just an opinion, my opinion ok thankxx see you next time

5.0 out of 5 stars top notch, August 25, 2009

By	J. Benson (Virginia Beach, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

this crept up to potential all-time favorite status. once you get used to SD, get into the older material if you haven't already - so out there... experimental vibes, but less and less pop-like as you go back in time - real auditory art!
