REMIXES

Fools Gold, L.A. Afro-cubist rock band gets in the chop block of the Secret Circuit blending machine with remixed results.

Fools Gold: Surprise Hotel- Secret Circuit Psychout Remix

SLIVERS OF YOU remix by Secret Circuit

Portugal's esteemed producer Tiago dropped the beautiful and aspirational Sea Power &amp; Change EP last year, and now the ESP Institute is delighted to deliver its counterpart, the Remixed EP. The Soft Rocks gang takes the eerie Strangefruit for a ride with an 80s dubby approach on side A, speeding it up slightly and throwing in a smack of a snare, only to be followed by a Secret Circuit (Eddie Ruscha of Laughing Light of Plenty) version of Wild Combination that juxtaposes wobbly synths and guitars in a spaghetti-western vibe. All is gravy once the record flips and we sink into the Jonny Nash (of Sombrero Galaxy) remix of Yesterday Is Dead. This is one of those remixes you can't link to the original no matter how hard you try, but why try when what you have is such a melted masterpiece on your hands? Everything Nash touches is gold.


A2 - Wild Combination (Secret Circuit Remix)

Following last years acclaimed Curse of Soft Rocks album, we're invited to revisit said masterpiece from an alternative entry — a robust compilation of remixes. The tracklisting follows its predecessor verbatim, however every track is re-contextualized so wildly that we're left with a beautifully obtuse yet complimentary rendering. The personnel employed vary in style and technique drastically, but such is the ethos of Soft Rocks, and furthermore the ESP Institute. At the end of the day, we implore you to shut up and listen.
