RAW HAS A YEARNING FOR BLACK VAN
February 16, 2010

Black Van is Kris Menace and KoweSix (one half of Moonbootica). Accoring to their MySpace page, the Black Van project takes the guys' shared love of early electronica and disco to the next level by exploring the possibilities of analog perfection and introducing classic songwriting from some of the best indie vocalists from USA and Europe. Sounds promising!

Apparently, James Murphy loved Kris Menace's remix of LCD Soundsystem's North American Scum so much that he released Black Van's first single Yearning this week on his DFA label. The release also includes a great remix by Emperor Machine. Based on the sound of Yearning, this should be an exciging side project. There's talk of a full length Black Van album with some exciting collaborations. Preview the tracks here and grab a copy online at Amie Street or Juno.
