So LCD Soundsystem are finally hanging up their synthesizers and cowbells…what will you do?!   What else can you dance your face off too when it comes to disco/dance-punk throwback bands? Enter DFA’s Holy Ghost!, who, while in no way a replacement to LCD (who is?), might soften the blow when they release their self-titled debut album on April 12th (5th on iTunes).

I really got into their Static On The Wire EP this past summer, and although they’re still pretty new to the scene, they definitely are heading in a good direction.

Ever since the last Bill Callahan album I havent been able to get enough of Bill Callahan. He’s like a weird modern Johnny Cash with his talky voice and always interesting lyrics. There are parts of the album that even get a bit heavy, as in distortion. Highly Recommended.

Love this song around the 3:10 mark where the guitar starts to kick in.

Apparently we have an R&B trend on our hands with artists like Francis & The Lights, Gaayngs, Fritz and The Tantrums, James Blake and now The Weeknd. The album just got BNM on Pitchfork today and it’s definitely deserves the score. There are a few songs that burn a little too slow for my tastes, but overall it’s a very solid album. There are some really great, albeit raunchy, lyrics on a lot of these songs.
The highlight of the album for me was when I heard Beach House being sampled on the song “The Party & The After Party”, which they reprise later on the album.
