Jul 28, 2017 By Christopher Roberts Songs of the Week

It was a busy week for new tracks, with two pop singers (Jessie Ware and Charli XCX) making a strong showing. A couple of classic rockers made a return, and while Ringo Starr’s new song (featuring Paul McCartney and others) was pretty standard old rocker fare, one of Mick Jagger’s new songs (either “Gotta Get a Grip” or the remix of it by Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker) surprisingly almost made our Top 8.

Alt-J released their third album, Relaxer, last month via Canvasback Music. Now they have shared a remix of “In Cold Blood” by American dance music producer Baauer. The original sounded like something that could have easily been found on the band’s Mercury Prize-winning debut album from 2012, An Awesome Wave, whereas Baauer’s remix ups the bass and adds in beats and stutters. Listen below.
