Pitchfork

When DFA adds an artist to its flawless roster, we pay attention. After all, the production duo/record label seems to have impeccable taste: LCD Soundsystem, the Rapture, Black Dice, Hot Chip, Delia Gonzalez & Gavin Russom, Shit Robot, the Juan Maclean--not a dud in the bunch.

The latest finding from James Murphy and Tim Goldsworthy is the Portsmouth, England group Prinzhorn Dance School. The duo of Tobin and Suzi Horn make sharp, stripped-down post-punk recalling the best of Young Marble Giants, only without any hint of cuteness. (Of course, I've only heard two songs so far, so the rest of their repertoire could very well consist of epic psychedelic symphonies.)

Those two songs, "You Are the Space Invader" and "Eat Sleep", will be released on Monday, November 20 on 7" vinyl and as a download via DFA. Prinzhorn Dance School will record their debut album with Murphy and Goldsworthy in New York City next year.

For now, hear snippets of the two songs on the single here.

Tobin and Suzi are in the middle of a brief UK tour, which ends on Monday in Newcastle.
