They’re crystalline, full of sub-bass and drums. The resulting 11 songs are some of the band’s most production focused offerings to date. It was conceived during the past two years, with dreams of future dancefloors very much on the brain. Featuring production from Patrick Ford, Let it Be Blue is the product of file sharing, trading stems, song particles, little ideas on their way to being fully realized dance tracks. Let it Be Blue is a computer record, but it doesn’t feel like it. The kind of stuff you want to put on loud, let loose, go to the bar to get a drink only to abandon your plans because the song that just came on was too good not to dance to.
The band’s ninth record, Let it Be Blue, takes that feeling of constant, radical transformation to new, untapped zones. To quote frontman Nic Offer “We’ve always been pushing towards something stranger and weirder. Music, for !!!, has to be a place where anything can happen. Dance punk royals !!! know the feeling well-they’ve been releasing urgent, obliterative, fuck-you music for 25 years. Every new thing you make has to feel like a statement, the best new version of yourself. There’s this thing about making art where in order to make it feel exciting for yourself, you have to reinvent yourself each time.
