Surely you all remember from my review of the new Foals album Total Life Forever that one of my favorite tracks was “This Orient”. But holy cow, this totally beautiful remix by Silver Columns takes one of the most upbeat songs on the album and makes it at least a million times more upbeat. I think listening to this remix might be the equivalent of drinking a 5-hour energy (if that’s what you’re into), or at least 2 or 3 of those hours of energy. Or maybe you’re more of a 6-hour power kind of person. Or maybe you think they are all gross and don’t make me feel more awake but just prevent me from falling asleep when I finally want to (or maybe that’s just me). Either way, it is tough to deny the joy that can be found in this remix. Pure joy.
Silver Columns will be releasing their album Yes and Dance on May 31. Can’t wait to see what they’ve got in store on that bad boy.
Also, this one is a bit of a builder, so do not listen to the first 10 seconds and judge the bigness/joyousness of it all. Because it will get way bigger and way more joyous. Just wait for it. If you aren’t feeling the joy, throw on a pair of headphones and try again. I think the result may be different.
