liars + crystal castles [new music]


Just a tiny taste until I get together something more substantial...

Liars just released a new, eponymous album today, which I can't wait to hear (and will certainly post upon when I do). Thematically, here's a lovely remix by the opulent Crystal Castles to tide us over. They take the hugely theatrical cut from Liars' last album and flip it into a four-on-the-floor club banger. It's a serious remix, but strangely true to the original. They haven't completely abandoned the subtle effects and minor-key progessions, and the added beats and tones are entirely in-line with the album's general aesthetic. A rare club remix that truly synthesizes without destruction.
