Insound Staff Pick - 2008!Saint Dymphma, named after the patron saint of outsiders, is the band's follow-up to the acclaimed God's Money. They've taken an even dancier, inclusive direction that continues to emphasize the ritualistic elements of their music while upping the transcendent aspects. The production is pristine cinematic headphone candy with 70's Eno intricacy and 00's Timbaland immediacy that will hold your attention while Gang Gang Dance continue to push things forward.

This work proves to be a perfect combination of sound and vision, providing a rhythm that plays on your eyes as much as your ears.
