It Gets Dark

Holy Ghost!

2012

It Gets Dark

Release Date:  2012

By Pitchfork

Reviewed October 14, 2012

The last time we checked in with disco-loving NYC duo Holy Ghost!, they were sinisterly covering Ministry's "I Wanted to Tell Her", with assistance from the Juan MacLean and Nancy Whang, who's worked with LCD Soundsystem and Shit Robot in the past. As the title suggests, new single, "It Gets Dark" continues in that shadowy vein, possessing a low-key type of menace while still retaining the expansive, sparkly propulsiveness that marked the pair's excellent debut LP from last year. "It Gets Dark" was previously released in ultra-limited run as a one-sided 12" at the Williamsburg Brooklyn Flea; it sees release digitally tomorrow via DFA.
