leave a comment

Gang Gang Dance are an experimental music group based in Brooklyn, New York City , well known within the New York indie rock scene for its distinctive sound in a sort of ceremonial function that has been variously referred to as “neo-primitivist” or “neo-tribal”.
Their new album Saint Dymphna has been release on Social Registry (US/CAN) and Warp (UK/EUR/AUS).

The title refers to St. Dymphna – also known as “Dimpna” or “Dympna”. Her feast day is May 15 and she is the patron saint of those who suffer from mental illnesses and nervous system disorders, epileptics, mental health professionals, happy families, incest victims, and runaways.
