“Bicycle” was undoubtedly one of my favorite songs of 2010. Maybe it was because I didn’t really hear it much until the latter part of the year so it was still fresh in my head, but whatever the reason, I totally dig/dug it. I liked the way it started out sort of minor sounding and then erupted into this big beautiful burst of Memory Tapes goodness. So I was pretty glad to hear this recent remix by Little Loud which sort of takes that to a whole new level. The UK producer slowed the song down quite a bit and almost removed the beat all together in the beginning of the song and took out the minor intro and replaced it with undeniably happy tones that are just really, really nice to listen to. Ending sentences with prepositions is where its at. <-- See what I did there? And then, when the beat does come back in, it's pretty much one of the happier things I've heard in recent memory. A really nice rework of one of my favorites.
Acephale Records just completed a second pressing of the Memory Tapes Seek Magic LP, and you can pick it up here if you’re interested.
