As someone who is just starting to get a little bit into White Hinterland and someone who has long been a fan of the remixes of Mr. Alan Wilkis, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that his latest remix was none other than “No Logic” by White Hinterland. The original tune is pretty low key, but Alan said he channeled Stereolab and Tortoise (good choices) to turn this into a funky quasi-psychedelic remix (I just said that last part, not him), and I would say he hit it out of the park. I especially enjoy the super retro sounding riff that you can hear all throughout the remix. You’ll know the one I’m talking about when you hear it. Here’s the original as well, for comparison’s sake.

le loup – grow

This one is super fresh folky goodness. I don’t know how else to describe it. It’s by Le Loup, a many-piece out of Washington DC. Which you may know as “the city that the Real World is on right now”. I’m glad I saw this tune recently because I’ve actually seen Le Loup perform live maybe a year and a half ago opening up for Stereolab, and I wanted to check them out but completely forgot about them. I remember them having some really cool sounds and being really over the top, but you can tell that those kids love what they’re doing, and that’s what it’s all about.

“Grow” is folky and has some definite eastern influences and it’s like a weird and great mashup of so many of the bands that I love. It’s a little bit Fleet Foxes, a little bit Animal Collective, a little big Grizzly Bear, a little bit Yeasayer, and all with some nice eastern influence. It’s so nice when you see an opening act that you may have never heard of, and then you like them, and then you forget about them, and then you remember about them again, and you still like their stuff.
