DFA to Release Juan Maclean Debut

Though a few singles have been released with the help of the DFA, the Juan Maclean (aka John Maclean) have yet to release a full-length album. The singles were made available in the usual formats, as well as on both of the DFA compilations. Finally, on July 4, DFA/EMI will release their debut, Less Than Human. The album was recorded at Maclean's home and at Plantain Studios. It was mixed and produced by the DFA and the band.

The band's website describes the album as "a precision-tuned rekindling of Maclean's love affair with everything from Kraftwerk to Juan Atkins and Derrick May, Funkadelic to Giorgio Moroder and Lipps Inc, DAF to Talking Heads and Frankie Goes to Hollywood."

01 AD2003
02 Shining Skinned Friend
03 Give Me Every Little Thing
04 Tito's Way
05 Love Is In The Air
06 In The Afternoon
07 My Time Is Running Out
08 Crush The Liberation
09 Dance With Me

The album's lead single will be "Tito's Way", available in June, with remixes by Lindstrom & Prins Thomas, Reverso 68 and Booka Shade. The track "contrasts acid-house synth squelches and rave whistles with clattering, tribal percussion." For now, you can see what it's all about live in concert. That is, of course, if you're in England or New York.
