    That's not to say Gang Gang Dance has watered down its style; rather than some strategic reach toward mass appeal, Eye Contact represents a pruning of the superfluous.

    While no commercial crossover will be gained from Eye Contact, Gang Gang Dance have released one of the most captivating albums of the year, each song different yet cohesive, challenging and ultimately highly rewarding.

    It's a concise, tidy sounding album, with little of the noise leakage of old. [May 2011, p.51]

    The Eastern motifs on Infinty are trite. Ultimately, it's not enough to derail this engrossing record. [Jun 2011, p.116]

    Absolutely stunning. If only every other band could attain such levels of progression and innovation, the world would not have any more musical landfills. Expand
  2. Whatever these folks are on, I want some. This has gone straight into my top 5 for the year, possibly top, and I don't even like synth-based stuff that much. Just wow! Expand
  3. Uniqueness is a feature mentioned too often while talking about somebodyâ
