Why do we like this?
It's always a delicate issue with the artist, fans, and producer about the remix -- meaning, sometimes the remix really is better. And with that overstatement, bring on the backlash. I can take it.
The original "Johnny Belinda" is atmospheric, droning, something vaguely like church music. In other words, not something I would normally listen to. White Arrows has flipped this beast into something fit for sex on the floor -- if I can be so blunt.
What was once a vulnerable, angelic whisper of a track is now a pumping, sexy, self-assured secret. The kind of secret that hints of the fancy dirty. But isn't that what remixes aim to do? Maybe this is just a really subjective interpretation, but it's not a bad one. Wouldn't you agree?
White Arrows is main man, Mickey Schiff, Steven Vernet (guitar and percussion), Rob Banks (guitar) Andrew Naeve (keys), Henry Schiff (drums), and John Paul Caballero (bass). These boys are bi-coastal, "young, ambitious, fucked-up, beautiful children of a new cosmopolitan America" So I can only assume fancy dirty is what they indeed aim for.
