INVISIBLE CONGA PEOPLE “Cable Dazed” 12″ Transparent Blue Mist
$5.00
Late one night many years ago, Justin Simon, one half of Manhattan duo Invisible Conga People, found himself in the nightclubs of Tokyo, listening to bone-rattling beats & eagerly dancing. Simon had come up on post-punk & noise-rock — bands like Public Image Limited & Can, scuzzy & propulsive. But the Japanese dance floor was for him a revelation. “I was pretty much hooked on club music from that moment,” he remembers. “It was just so much more fun than staring at a band.”
Invisible Conga People sounds exactly like the product of that awakened sensibility. Simon, alongside bandmate Eric Tsai, channels the gritty vigor of classic krautrock & no-wave into an effervescent vein that distinctly recalls house & disco. “Cable Dazed” is a thumping analog wonder, moody & bass-rich, equally suited to a trace of private reflection as a spasm among the strobe lights of the club. “Weird Pains” drifts into more eccentric territory, laying down a hypnotic groove before winding into curlicues of experimentation.
