Four Tet has turned his remix brain to Chvrches‘ recent single from second album Every Open Eye,, out on September 25th.
Hebden’s 7-minute remix of the track has some of his signature unfurling melodic and effects to it. The first three minutes is spent building the track before the vocals are heard for the first time in refrain form.
Buy on iTunes.

Chvrches‘ Lauren Mayberry has been one of the most vocal female musicians talking about misogyny in music of late.
As a former journalist herself, Mayberry is well able to respond to anonymous male aggression online as she did for an op-ed in the Guardian in 2013.
This is good because this stuff is important and such behaviour is unacceptable. Mayberry’s decision to publicise such gross correspondence also publicly shames those who do it as well as highlights just how crass and lewd men can be to a female in a band.
Last night, she shared another, quite-disgusting disrepectful not-safe-for-life message from a “fan”.
She accompanied the screenshot with more inspiring words of her own.
“My band is lucky enough to have some of the most awesome, supportive and respectful fans in the world and we are so excited to be in the studio making an album to share with them. Yet, on a daily basis, we still receive communications like this. These people never learn that violence against women is unacceptable. But they also never learn that women will not be shamed and silenced and made to disappear. I am not going anywhere. So bring it on, motherfuckers. Let’s see who blinks first.”
That’s how you respond to misogyny.

A Frank O’Hara-sampling 10 minute beaut on Permanent Vacation.
David Kitt’s New Jackson is following up his recent Made It Mine EP on Permanent Vacation with another on the label. Having A Coke With You is a three-track release with two tracks ‘Alone OK Alone’ and ‘Player Piano’ sticking close to the established New Jackson sound of synth-lead electronic house music.
The title track is a different beast. Across ten minutes it sways from wistful keys, horns and bass to a shuffling string and piano electronic panorama. It’s even more fun than going to San Sebastian as the song’s sampled speech suggests, taken from the Frank O’Hara poem from which the title is drawn.
New Jackson plays the Major Problems showcase in Opium Rooms with Terriers, February & Mars, Get Down Edits and Barry Redsettaz on Saturday. You can win tickets to it in this week’s gig guide.
The EP is released next week on 12″ and digital.

After previews of new songs from Lorde and The Chemical Brothers with Miguel from the newest Lorde-curated Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 soundtrack, curated by Lorde herself, Chvrches are the latest band to debut a new song from the compilation which is out on November 14th in Ireland.
The track, which was debuted live as ‘Richard Pryor’ previously is a singalong upbeat track in the Chvrches-style with a particularly fatalistic chorus.

Here’s a really lovely acoustic cover of Chvrches’ ‘The Mother We Share’ from SOAK in Bridie Monds Watson’s inimitable own style. Her Blud EP is out now on Chvrches’ label Goodbye Records. Free download.
Posted on April 4th, 2014
A nice part of joining Chvrches’ record label Goodbye Records is that the band at the helm will be more likely to remix your song. Which is what has happened with Derry singer SOAK and her new song ‘Blud’ which is coming out on the label. The original’s pleasant and light instrumentation is transformed by the Scottish band into a swirling electro refit.
SOAK is supporting Chvrches on their current tour, starting in Dublin next week.

Special shoutout to the ever-brilliant Stephen Maurice Graham for his illustration. This one, he says, is down to that Psychemagik track and the film Dazed and Confused. Please enjoy 15 tracks in under an hour. A bit less talking, a bit more mixing on this one than usual.

By now, readers of this site or any other site will have a rudimentary knowledge of the young Derry singer-songwriter SOAK who has played Other Voices and generally made people much older than her 17 years feel like a bit of a kid again. The big news in the past week was that SOAK signed to Chvrches’ new label Goodbye Records.
The challenge now is for Bridie Monds-Watson to take those nascent acoustic songs and translate them to something that can work on much bigger stages than she’s generally used to.
So we have the first attempt, ‘Blud’, SOAK’s first properly recorded song (by Villagers’ Tommy McLaughlin, a fine producer also) is embellished with some touches of drums and other light instrumentation. Watson’s voice remains the central appeal though.
The song is out on March 17th.
SOAK is on tour with Chvrches. Here are those dates and a few more with George Ezra.
