[Download] Alt-J - "Fitzpleasure" (Jim James Remix)
Alt-J are going from strength to strength, just this week they've been tipped by bookies as favourite to take the Mercury Music prize. Their album An Awesome Wave is a ridiculously well put together piece of music that is very much worth a listen. Today, we get to listen to a remix from My Morning Jacket's Jim James of Alt-J's single, "Fitzpleasure".
An Awesome Wave is out now in the UK and set for release stateside on the 18th of September. ∆
[Watch] My Morning Jacket - "Outta My System" (Official Video)
My Morning Jacket's "Outta My System" has been getting a lot of attention these last few days, with a remix EP arriving tomorrow and now a brand new visual companion. MMJ frontman Jim James stars as a cyclops, while Zach Galifianakis stars as an evil wizard in this drug-fueled animated adventure. There really is no need to explain, all you should do is watch.
[Listen] My Morning Jacket - "Outta My System" (Washed Out Remix)
My Morning Jacket will be releasing a new EP tomorrow, titled Outta My System – Remixez Y Friendz, which sees them bringing along some friends to remix their song "Outta My System", which was originally part of their 2011 LP Circuital. Included in that "friends" category are folks such as Dave Sitek and Washed Out, who have lent their respective abilities to tweaking and tinkering with MMJ's track. The band has been kind enough to share Washed Out's remix of the song, which sees the chillwave aficionado adding delicate layers of reverb and synthpoppy goodness. Stream it below.
Outt My System - Remixez Y Friendz is out tomorrow digitally.
