Holy Ghost “I Will Come Back”

This new single from dynamic DFA duo Holy Ghost!, “I Will Come Back,” is such a legit take on instant classic. The sound for “I Will Come Back” is indeed vintage quality – an absolutely spot-on disco-electro jam that could’ve been rocked at the Paradise Garage – download it free and legally here. Its savage retro-futurist hooks are on some real John Rocca/John Robie ish, but massaged with dope soniques from da 2000s, too.

New Order “Confusion”

“I Will Come Back” succeeds by blending old-school songwriting finesse with gleefully pleasurable electronic grooves – it’s an idea summer dancefloor anthem. The video for “I Will Come Back” is another instant classic, by way of homage: it’s a shot-by-shot remake of the video for New Orders “Confusion” (which is one of the cool old-school NYC electro videos ever!!!). The remake is on some Gus Van Sant-Psycho faithful-to-the-original tip: just as Van Sant swapped out Janet Leigh for Anne Heche, “I Will Come Back” features LCD Soundsystem/Juan Maclean anti-diva Nancy Whang in the clubgirl role, adding extra pop-culture kick. You will come back and watch it again and again, just to catch the various clever remake moments… After all, in both videos and songs, New York seems like the disco-electro paradise it was always supposed to be…
