Oliver Ackermann of A Place to Bury Strangers twists Wah Together’s “Sayonara” into a brutalist metaphysical pretzel of melody and noise with a new remix out Friday, December 31.
 
“Sayonara (APTBS Remix)” casts Wah Together in a foundation of concrete and wrought iron with unrelenting industrial rhythms and brain-busting time-lapse fuzz guitar. And although Ackermann pushes Wah Together to the brink of collapse in a cacophony of post-punk power electronics, Jaiko Suzuki’s voice emerges unscathed, its sweetly skewed melody intact.
 
Wah Together’s debut LP Let’s Wah Together arrives March 4, 2022—only on Dedstrange.

To You

September 2, 2014

While travelling through midwest America some time ago I stopped at a gasstation and bought a WWJD bracelet for $1.99 and insisted that it stood for ‘What Would Jens Do?’. I would look at it when I felt indecisive, think about what Jens really would do and then do the opposite of that. I thought that would be a good way to find some new paths in life, and to get away from the paths I kept taking that didn’t lead me anywhere good.

WWJD is a song about regrets, learning from your mistakes, and bettering yourself. I wrote it last year, recorded it quickly and felt it didn’t fit in with most of the other songs I was writing. Together with ‘What’s That Perfume That You Wear?’ and ‘I Remember’ they weren’t adhering to the rules I had set up for my next album but they were also too good to forget. So I weaved them in exclusively on this mixtape where they are stations on a longer journey, where loops and smaller fragments, ideas for songs and favourite songs by others swoosh by outside the window. Feel free to open that window and feel the breeze in your hair.

Yours truly
Jens Lekman
