I.U.D. is Gang Gang Dance’s Lizzi Bougatsos and art school chum Sadie Laska (who’s worked with Growing and Extreme Violence [not the Greek death metal dudes]). The duo’s full-length debut The Proper Sex, which comes out in a couple of months, is preceded by a 7″ featuring the opening track, “Daddy,” a mix of dub, deep clattering percussion, loops, and Bougatsos’ unmistakable vocalizations. For those weened on “House Jam,” this’ll be more reminiscent of GGD’s pre-Saint Dymphna material, but it goes elsewhere: “Glo Balls,” which follows “Daddy,” is a racket of strangulated crust-tribalism; closer “Girls Just Wanna (Time To Have Sex)” features guest guitars via seminal Guy Picciotto-led D.C. hardcore crew Rites of Spring’s Michael Fellowes. The label’s mention of Einstürzende Neubauten, Front 242, and Meat Beat Manifesto doesn’t sound too far off in what we’ve heard: Ricocheting porn samples, punk howls and chants, crashing group drums. Wrap it all in Sparks-nodding album art and you’ve got yourself a pretty excellent offering. Listen to “Daddy.”
On the album, “Daddy”‘s the opener. On the 7″ that shows up sometime at the beginning of February, it’s backed by a remix from Aaron Warren of Black Dice. The Proper Sex in full:
01 “Daddy”
02 “Glo Balls”
03 “Monk Hummer”
04 “911″
05 “Mary Unmargaret”
06 “Girls Just Wanna (Time To Have Sex)”
The Proper Sex is out digitally and on vinyl 3/24 via The Social Registry. It’ll look like this:

So, this music looks really good.
these pics make me too horny to concentrate on music.
That’s fucking terrible. Is this really what passes for music these days? Dear God.
I was going to say ‘hooray for the Sparks Big Beat reference’ but then I remembered that that wasn’t one of their better albums. Hooray for Sparks anyway.
wow, that is some hot garbage.
How did ‘Gum get this exclusive? I can’t imagine anyone at the ‘Gum listening and enjoying I.U.D. without knowing who is involved.
You don’t know me very well, sir.
i’m surprised you guys picked up on the Sparks homage and bitchfork didn’t.
What a horrible band name.
Has anyone else noticed that she seems to have some sort of horrible burn on her stomach?
looks like cake batter on her stomach..
I.U.D is very enjoyable, and stereogum oughta be saluted for running a story on their new record. it’s not even in the outsiders section!
