Let me start by saying that I adore the original version of this track. I think it’s because the elegant melody and lyrics about killing your lover resonate with the dormant she-devil stirring within me. Or, you know, maybe because it’s an awesome song.
Leave it to RÜFÜS to take a gossamer Odesza tune and transform it into a version worthy of a progressive house set. The highlight of this track is the sharp, metallic percussion that gives it a relentless momentum.
The Australian dance trio disperses Zyra’s chopped vocals and throws in some trancey, Above & Beyond-esque flourishes to keep you moving. The reverberant layers of down-pitched vocals create a sound that enhances the sinister lyrical content. Perfect for satisfying all your dark repressed thoughts.
You can catch Odesza and RÜFÜS on their respective tours now, or see them together at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater this summer.
