(4AD)
Brian DeGraw is a significant fifth of New York avant-electronic types Gang Gang Dance, here in a lexically challenging solo mode. Now relocated to upstate New York, DeGraw's solo debut continues Gang Gang's tradition of making esoteric bangers while throwing in big synths (and kitchen sinks). So Gang Gang's Lizzi Bougatsos sings on Like Rain Man, but guests such as Hot Chip's Alexis Taylor also drop by, as on the seven-minute (FUTD) Time of Waste, in which Taylor's choirboy croon seems to relish some carnal activity. And while there is nothing on here as life-altering as GGD's 2011 single MindKilla, tracks such as Overlook remain restless and inventive.
