Video: Ital “Doesn’t Matter (If You Love Him)”
Seven-plus minutes of restrained and clustered disco from Ital, one of the many talented artists circling the Not Not Fun imprint 100% Silk. This hazy dance track is the opening song on the forthcoming LP, Hive Mind, which finds the one-man band (Daniel Martin McCormack) moving his talents to the Planet Mu label. Not sure what the rest of the album will entail, but if it is as combustible and tightly crafted as the lead single, it’s going to be a crucial album of 2012.
