[LISTEN UP] THE JUAN MACLEAN - YOU ARE MY DESTINY



The Juan Maclean has clearly reserved some crackling energy for “You Are My Destiny,” his 19th release on DFA. Refracting frequent vocalist and former LCD Soundsystem band member Nancy Whang’s vocals into glossolalic whirls before crashing into a full-on progressive peak-time tool, “You Are My Destiny” manages to make you believe the endearment of the title. Saved Records head Nic Fanciulli takes the reins for the b-side with a stripped remix that subverts the soaring vocal and numerous crescendos into a claustrophobic thump, while a crunchy bass line plays hide-and-seek with shy pads. Available now as an edition of 75 white labels from HERE. The regular edition is available worldwide April 1st, with digital to follow on April 9th.
