Hi connect_i cut
While I wouldn't call it an 'Indie renaissance',
there are so many new groups coming out of Brooklyn at this time that seem to be beat led reactions/ responses to Gang Gang's hype about their 'beats'.
Have never really gotten Gang Gang, they talk the talk , make the moves, guest MC's but the er, 'grooves' have thrown or glazed me every time. But wish them well, on 4AD.
Dirty P's - don't get it either, seems like such weak tea.
Listening to most of that Teardrops cut, ok, but nothing we haven't heard many times already.
Nothing that 'replaces' anything else, or fits neat in a 'nuum -
but Pterodactyl , Big A little a ( Thirteen, Manshake ) have their drums, beats as pretty much main sonic
( in some cases, wish they did instrumentals ).
Javelin does their club lite sounding thing ( Twyce , Radio ) , also Dinowalrus.
Mirror Mirror has some nice new stuff heard recently , a certain sound and song- writing.
High Places I have heard when they played here in Stuytown in summertime, didn't really notice it.
Possibly off topic but I do find it hard to believe that Beach House is the same guy who used to do Silicon Scally !
Seems things are beyond Gang Gang and DP by now ... thankfully !
There's always new things coming up.
