Listen to this track

Yeasayer's sophomore LP, Odd Blood, drops next Tuesday (February 9th) and now here's a cosmopolitan electro-pop remix of single "Ambling Alp." The detailed re-rub comes from Brooklyn musician/producer/remixer Alan Wilkis (aka Wilcassettes.)

Wilkis posted the following description of his meticulous process on his website: "I tried to approach my remix with that similar attention to detail in mind. I re-harmonized the song into a minor key, and I mixed a number of electronic sounds (synths, bleeps, boops) with live instruments (banjo, live hi-hat & snare drum). The song struck me as having some African influences deep in it – I tried to tease those out a bit more, although filtered through my bizarre-child-of-the-80s lens..."

Over the past year, he's remixed tracks from Phoenix, Shwayze, The Temp Trap, and The Very Best. Check them all out here.
