Calling this Sleigh Bells re-interpretation of ‘Chloroform’ by Phoenix a ‘remix’ is slightly misleading. Not so much a remix but the synth-pop equivalent of ‘chopping and screwing’ this sounds nothing like the dreamy, brooding original and more like someone substituted the chloroform for something a little harder, if you get my drift.
Phoenix had a few of their songs off Bankrupt! remixed by Grizzly Bear, R. Kelly, A-Trak, Dirty Projectors, Dinosaur Jr. and this was Sleigh Bells’ offering. I’m digging Alexis Krauss and Thomas Mars spliced vocals, creating a cool duet, press play to hear it.
