It's the Supersound

Fanfarlo are dropping Rooms Filled With Light soon and a whole bunch of teaser singles leading up to it, and we’ve been continually impressed by the sunny electro-pop direction they’re taking. It makes sense, then, that the band recruited Brooklyn post-apocalyptic electro crew Yeasayer to remix their latest single “Shiny Things.”

Though they just dropped an album of their own, The Big Pink took some time out of their schedule to bring their talent for crafting expansive pop jams to a remix of Ladyhawke’s recent jam-of-all-jams single “Black White and Blue.” We like how the guys start the whole thing off in a minor key, breaking down Pip Brown’s radio-ready vocals and grungy guitar backbeat into a goth-y, industrial, hyper-processed haze, before bringing out the big guns and busting out into a full-scale B*Witched / S Club 7 ‘90s fist-pumper.

Battles are following up their massively acclaimed, jam-laden 2011 art-math opus Gloss Drop with an appropriately titled, four-part remix album series called Dross Glop.

In a recent interview with 2/3 of Battles - drummer John and keys/bassist Dave touched on the February release of a series of remixes from their sonic 2010 record ‘Glass Drop’.

The releases will initially be a quota of 12″ inches followed by digital and will feature a cast of remixes including one by Seattle based Hip-Hop collective Shabazz Palaces (being signed to Warp will of course have opened doors).

Although details are only thin, the short trip away will mean more in coming weeks, but boy we are excited!
