Throughout their career, Caravan Palace has consistently defied musical conventions and genres, forging their unclassifiable, hybrid pop signature sound. Embraced by multiple communities (dancers, gymnasts, gamers, video animators...) who adopted their tracks and turned them into viral hits, the group has achieved enormous success, accumulating several billion streams across all platforms as well as an RIAA Platinum Certified Single with “Lone Digger". Their idiosyncratic soundscapes achieve the rare feat of being both unique and commercial.
Gangbusters Melody Club, their fifth album is a joyous jigsaw puzzle of an album and their most dancefloor-friendly to date. The aim of the band was to stay streamlined, yet the trio pack more influences than ever before into their elegant earworm songs. The jazz and swing for which they became famous over a decade ago is back with a bang, alongside their love of French House and Electronica. But don’t be deceived by the infectious nature of the new songs, however. Dig deeper and you’ll find that they’re not what they seem on the surface. At first glance, the majestic Mirrors is a sample-centric, frisky disco tune about the joys of dancing. but the song develops a complex, yet inspiring, narrative about jealousy, self-acceptance and confidence. Just like its title, this is an album that’s both funny and vintage, a club that is both a welcoming dance floor and a secret society.
First edition pressed between January 22nd and February 2nd at Precision Record Pressing in Burlington, ON.
