Baltimore duo Dungeonesse (Jon Ehrens of the Art Department and Jenn Wasner of Wye Oak) take former Czars frontman John Grant's "Black Belt" from a turn on the dancefloor to a tryst in the nightclub bathroom with their love-drunk woozy rework of the subterranean four-on-the-floor banger. The single is our first taste of Grant's upcoming LP Pale Green Ghosts—an effortless submersion into disco-house that might come as a shock to the system for fans of his folksy 2010 solo debut, Queen of Denmark. Whether you're a fan of John Grant past, present, or future, stream Dungeonesse's remix of "Black Belt" below and snatch Pale Green Ghosts when it drops May 14th on Partisan Records.
