The Juan MacLean Shares “A Simple Design”
After sharing In A Dream‘s epic opening number, the progressive, disco-oriented “A Place Called Space,” The Juan MacLean is excited to unveil “A Simple Design,” one of the most sublime and immediate tracks on this cohesive dance record. As described by Juan, “This is a song about being stuck, paralyzed and unable to move forward, the sort of self-imposed distress that causes you to take five years to make a new album.”
Juan MacLean and the bold and vivacious Nancy Whang doing what they do best – playing with lyrics, melodies and arrangements in presenting dance-informed, electronic pop songs that cover a great deal of musical ground. Juan’s distinct production and Juan and Nancy’s unique interplay has lead them to successfully weather electroclash, disco-punk, electro-disco, techno, house, deep house, and whatever you’re calling the sound of today. With In A Dream, their third album and first in five years, The Juan MacLean have surpassed it all and created the best album of their career.
