"They are a thoroughly modern polymorphous pop group, emerging from the shadows to embrace a bright and endless summer of sound.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Singer Lizzi Bougatsos weaves riddles of devotion and recites nursery rhymes with demonic glee. The music's hard to classify, but one word might sum it up: ecstatic.", "Gang Gang Dance finds breathability without sacrificing vitality. With Italian opera samples, dub interludes and big drum/synth combos, the album explores little crevices of the sound that the band took a decade to develop.", Ranked #22 in Uncut's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "GGD's fourth album brilliantly fused rave-pop and dance music with psychedelia...", "EYE CONTACT opens with the 11-minute 'Glass Jar,' a freewheeling mass of synths, cymbals, and high moans....Gang Gang Dance are back to testing boundaries."

Eye Contact is Gang Gang Dance's most elaborately produced, most accessible -- but no less adventurous -- debut for 4AD.
