Gang Gang Dance’s Brian DeGraw turns Soft As Snow’s “All Our Beasts” on its already strange head, taking the London-based electronic duo’s didgeridoo-like drones and meditative vocals to a whole new glitchy plane. The remix continuously transforms throughout, starting out as some sort of electric soundscape (that oddly brings to mind this Pokémon Stadium N64 minigame), calms down in preparation for the staccato rework of the vocals, then does it all again, only this time enveloped in a meditative post-haze. Although the remix is made up of such surging, bright sounds, there’s something natural and organic about the whole thing, something that Brian DeGraw has evoked throughout all his projects.
The remix is part of Soft As Snow’s Glass Body Remixed EP, due November 4. It’s a perfect companion to the amazing original EP, which was released in September via Houndstooth. Check out the remix here:
