About
When LCD Soundsystem called in quits in 2011, The Juan MacLean stepped into the marquee slot of the famed label DFA. <i>In a Dream</i> shows they're up for the task. Centering the tracks around frequent collaborator and erstwhile LCD vocalist Nancy Whang (that's her on the cover), main man John MacLean infuses his Krautrock-inspired dance jams with bits of house, disco, and punk. "Running Back to You" is a dreamy extended funk workout that recalls The Who's "Eminence Front." "Love Is Here" is trance-inducing synth-pop, while "I've Waited for So Long" looks to the '80s for its angular textures. The collaboration peaks on "A Simple Design": a deep, spooky groove that doubles as catchy pop, with Whang doling out la-la-la's like candy on Halloween.
