I was tripping on shrooms when I heard James the first time and I thought Andrew said, "if you find us out, there's no need to shout, I'm always home" and it scared the fuck out of me haha I thought that I broke the 4th wall of life for a moment but I didn't realize I misheard the lyrics until I came down
This really does sound like you were chilling outside on a summer night while tripping on something. Just laying, looking at a tree or reaching for a stick.
This remix kept feeling like it was building up to something, but there was no real payoff at all. I like the sounds, but man this could have been an explosive song with what was being set up. But nothing actually came of it. It kind of just...went away.
Every "remix" doesn't necessarily have to be a 4-by-4 beat with a sped-up sample from the original. I'm glad this one's not that kind of remix. It's awesome and creative and cool and mellow, it even sounds more MGMT-ish than the original
Neox I completrly agree. But everything was setup to have a build up. Everything kept building one way or another. Its not my fault expecting something they setup, musically.
At least something interesting coming out of your latest LP. Except for Little Dark Age the track, I find the rest of the album extremely boring and shallow. Thumbs up to mr Sonic Boom for transforming a (once again) boring electropop tirade into a tremendous psychedelic sunday nap...
