Everything Everything's latest single, My Keys Your Boyfriend (MY KZ UR BF: potato, potata), has been remixed by Delphic and Portmanteau and now both are available to download for free.
Delphic's take on the single deviates most from the original track, creating a strikingly hypnotic, outer-worldly musical experience that seems fit for falling asleep to. I say this because it's a little on the long side for a remix that removes itself from the lyrics of the mother track to this extent, and becomes what I call an 'unconscious' listen. Though if you fight the temptation to skip to the end (or fall asleep) and apply your listening you will get an acknowledgment of the beauty in its construction and falling asleep to it should be a sanctified experience. Delphic are currently on the Kitsune Maison Tour and will be supporting Bloc Party in Japan come November.
Portmanteau's remix is my favourite, perhaps for it's closeness to the mother track lyrically, perhaps for it's 5 minutes 23 seconds: the perfect time lapse. This is an easy listen, it has vocals from both verse and chorus, and isn't too much of the same. I'll leave you to make your minds up on this one: all I'll advise is definitely download them! Everything Everything, Delphic, and Portmanteau are all burgeoning talents in their own rights so catch these free mp3's while you still can. Portmanteau are at present unsigned but have worked with/played alongside some great talent including Metronomy, Kap Bambino, My Tiger My Timing and Kosheen.
