Prinzhorn Dance School is an English musical duo, which consists of Tobin Prinz and Suzi Horn. The duo were originally based in Brighton and Portsmouth[1] and made their debut in 2007.[2] The group is named for Dr. Hans Prinzhorn, who collected art by mentally ill patients under his care.[3]
In 2006 Prinz and Horn signed a recording contract with the New York record label DFA Records.[4] Their debut release for the label was a self-recorded and self-produced 7-inch single featuring the tracks "You Are The Space Invader" and "Eat, Sleep".
They have thus far completed UK and European tour dates. The debut album was toured with a three-piece line-up (with the addition of a drummer). However, in August 2008 they headlined the Experimental Circle Tent at Offset Festival bringing the event to a close as a 2-piece (using a specially modified shared drumkit), the first time they have performed without a separate drummer. They retained this live formation for recent[when?] shows in Luxembourg, Istanbul, Bucharest and Lausanne.
Recycling clauseedit
Negotiations with EMI (who licensed the debut album in the UK) were protracted while the band insisted upon the inclusion of special recycling clauses, ensuring that all their record sleeves, CD sleeves and promotional material be produced using recycled materials. All releases to date have used recycled paperstock.[citation needed]
In popular mediaedit
In 2008 their song "You Are The Space Invader" was used as the soundtrack to the HBO Cinemax trailer.[citation needed]
In 2007 The Sunday Telegraph included Prinzhorn Dance School's debut album in a "best 120 albums of all time" list.[5]
In 2010 a poster of the Prinzhorn Dance School album can be seen in the movie Greenberg. DFA Records boss James Murphy was responsible for the soundtrack.
