Review:
Chicagoan James Curd has a reputation for not taking himself too seriously, a trait that's previously been served by his Greenskeepers outfit. While this solo outing on Lost My Dog isn't quite as deliberately crazy as some of his Greenskeepers work, it is every bit as fun. Critically, it's also every bit as floor-friendly as his best work for Classic. Choose between booty-shaking bompty cut-ups ("Shake Shake"), late night disco-skank ("A Friend"), chunky house meets nu-disco anthems ("I Don't Really Care", featuring an excellent vocal from Devin Byrnes) and DFA-ish retro-futurist piano jams (the Shit Robot-ish "Left The Ground"); all, naturally, are excellent.
