The synthy-electro dance band Pretty Good Dance
Moves are taking their new albumLIMO, which was cut
at their Brooklyn apartment and in Paris, on the road with stops in New
York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Minneapolis etc and a special live session at
already legendary Daytrotter studios on February 21st.
LIMO crosses electro-experimental-ambient and disco boundaries and takes a different approach from their previous recordings. Limo is 32 minutes long, composed of 8 movements and intended to be listened to as one complete work from start to finish. PGDM’s intention was to make a record, not singles! Sabina Sciubba of Brazilian Girlsis the featured vocalist on LIMO and sings in 3 different languages (English, German and French).
Pretty Good Dance Moves is the songwriting and instrumental vehicle of Aaron Allietta and Jimmy Giannopoulos. Started as a studio project, the duo has written and collaborated with many different singers, such as Lissie Trullie, Genevieve Schatz and collaborated with Bjorn Yttling [Peter Bjorn & John] on various tracks over the last three years. Sabina Sciubba is the vocalist on LIMO and Angelina Lucero will be singing live with the band on all of their 2012 dates.
Stereogum premiered the first album track “Movement #8 (I Wonder Why)” HERE andHERE (feel free to share!) of the album that will be released on February 7th, 2012 on MAD Dragon/Township. You can now hear the second track ““Movement #2 (1000 Sasa)” HERE as well to get a further taste.
A long form music video to accompany LIMO was produced by French filmmaker Antoine Wagner (credits include “From a Mess to the Masses” a documentary about the rise of the French rock band Phoenix as well as their music video “Listomania”) and will be available shortly.

“…a triumphant little electro-pop track that tickles hearts and synths and hearts like Passion Pit, trades and harmonizes vocals like Ra Ra Riot or those guys behind “Young Folks.” -Stereogum
“Remember when VHS tapes came in colors, specifically bubblegum pink? This is the sonic version of that.” -RCRD LBL
