From the same guy who brought you a remix of Joanna Newsom’s ‘Book of Right On’ on the March Podcast, comes this slightly less contentious reworking of Yeasayer’s ‘Sunrise’ by Pocketknife. It’s mostly a beat re-adjustment but I really like it, as I do the original.
Pocketknife has an EP with his mate Cousin Cole out called Canyon Dancing and this remix appears on it.
