News: Trip Hop Remix of Brand New’s ‘The Devil and God’

Posted by on Mar 4, 2015 in Featured, News | 0 comments

First off, I want to apologize to you, dear readers, for I have made a grievous oversight earlier this year. On the list of things we care about at this blog, Brand New and trip hop are both very very high up on the list. And while we, apparently, aren’t the only ones to take this stance, Simple Mind, a Boston based producer, decided to take this fascination to the next level, and marry the two into a truly remarkable remix project.

Simple Mind took the moody and experimental classic Brand New album, The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me, and put together a trip hop remix of the entire album. The result is, predictably, fantastic. The Devil and God was such a dark, downtempo masterpiece, that giving it a trip hop spin seems only natural. The groove is perfect, the pace is perfect, and if Devil and God weren’t such a flawless album, I’d almost say it sounds like it was meant to sound like this from the start. Alas, one doesn’t not simply imply The Devil and God can be improved upon. But either way you slice it, it’s damn good.

 

So far, only “Sowing Season”, “Not the Sun”, “Degausser” and “Limousine” have been released, but the complete album is due out this next week, on March 9th. In the meantime, you can check out the three aforementioned tracks, and sign up for Simple Mind’s mailing list, which will notify you as soon as the complete album drops.
