I love it when music has an attitude problem like a teenage child; you can't argue back with because they are so damn clever. As if the original of The Presets' "
Ghosts" wasn't brilliant enough, this remix by Hermitude combines indie electronic pop with trap with whatever the &$%* else it feels like to create a modern day emo anthem.
The original track is the anthem of an older man looking back upon his past with some regret as he sings, "Once I was a very young man, and very young man are none too clever... Now I'm coming on back / Help me up move right, left foot forward." The remix mangles the words, as the innocence and passion of youth fight back.
For a completely different take on the original, check out the
Señor Coconut remix of "Ghosts." Visit iTunes to check out the rest of The Presets' album,
