From the skronked out sound of the Farfisa organ that introduces you to JAMES CHANCE & THE CONTORTIONS' first single off their new album, The Flesh Is Weak, “Melt Yourself Down”, is clearly no nostalgia trip. Rather, it is cutting edge modern funk that grabs you and holds you till The Contortions can take the middle and James Chance can grab the top. If you have been waiting a long time for James Chance’s return here it is: The Dean of Downtown New York, who saved us from New Wave in the early '80s and recast it in his own No Wave image, is back. It is James, with his sax still swinging and his voice still howling, the entire album is a vibrant party blow out.
