Bang Gang – Out of Horizon (Daniel Hunt [Ladytron] Remix)
Blown in by Reykjavik’s icy winds and guided by the bewitching Northern Lights, Iceland’s own Bardi Johannsson announces the details of the long-awaited new Bang Gang album. Entitled “The Wolves Are Whispering” and out in the U.S. on May 19th, this album is Bang Gang’s first in over 7 years. The album features guest vocals by Helen Marnie (Ladytron), Keren Ann (Lady & Bird), Jofridur Akadottir (Samaris, Pascal Pinon) and Bloodgroup. Press here to listen to the album’s soaring and melodic lead single “Out Of Horizon”, and stream the single’s Daniel Hunt/Ladytron remix, below. The remix is available as a free download.
Though it’s been nearly a decade since the last Bang Gang record, Ghosts From The Past, the brooding Icelandic composer Bardi Johannsson has kept busy with multiple projects. His recent collaborations include the electro-pop duo Starwalker with Jean-Benoît Dunckel of Air and Lady and Bird with French songstress Keren Ann. Johannsson has also scored numerous films and documentaries including David Guy Levy’s Would You Rather (with Daniel Hunt), and the French success De Toutes Nos Forces, directed by Nils Tavernier.

Bang Gang – Out Of Horizon
“Out Of Horizon” is the soaring, melodic first single off of Bang Gang’s upcoming forth LP – their first in almost a decade! As Bardi Johannsson describe it: “This song is like a drive to an unknown space where everything is accepted and nothing is condemned.” Get it here.
Johannsson spent last year with Starwalker, an electropop project with Air’s Jean-Benoît Dunckel. Check out their latest video here.
Video: Starwalker – Blue Hawaii
Following the release of their excellent debut EP Losers Can Win earlier this year, Starwalker, aka the duo of Air’s Jean-Benoît Dunckel and Bang Gang’s Bardi Johannsson, return with a new space-pop gem called “Blue Hawaii”, “a song that mixes perfectly the two suns of Starwalker into one galaxy. You want to change the world, but the world will change you.”
