On June 25th the Greek-born, US-based producer Larry Gus will release his “Years Not Living” LP on DFA Records.  Gus returned to Greece for the writing and recording of the new album, where he wrote roughly 85 tunes during his LP sessions.  The album plays as a 10-track psychedelic collage drawing from 60s / 70s pop, hip-hop, soul and more.  Also of note, DFA Records will be celebrating their 12th Anniversary in style with a bash at the Grand Prospect Hall in Brooklyn on May 25th.  All info regarding the show can be found here, although it appears that tickets have been long sold out.
