Download Now: The Tangible Presence of The Miraculous-The Crystal Ark

Epic and Banger. These are two words that have been extremely misused in describing music as of late. Daft Punk at Coachella '06 equals epic. Band of Horses at the Metro, not so much. Queen at Wembley '86 equals epic. Weezer at the Aragon, probably not. Actually, definitely not.

Banger. The remix that your friend made the other day, not really (though i do give them credit for trying 'cause remixing is not an easy task). "The Tangible Presence of the Miraculous" by The Crystal Ark? Yes. Total banger.

Released on DFA, Gavin Russom has created a track that is both epic and a banger. If you've seen LCD Soundsystem before you may recognize Gavin as the multi-instrumentalist with the involuntary "business in the front, party in the back" look, and on this track he takes the lead, creating a 12 minute plus monster. With a pulsating Brazilian influenced beat and sensual Latin vocals, "The Tangible Presence of the Miraculous" is dance floor ecstasy in non-pill form. At around the 8:32 mark, your life as a music fan peaks in glee as you and the dance floor are, indeed, ON FIRE. BOOM!

Enjoy.
