Why do we like this?
Besides being difficult to spell, and ruining my states and capitals test back in fourth grade, Mississippi can conjure up lots of different feelings and ideas. It might be getting into an adventure with Huck Finn helping a runaway slave escape, or people sitting on a porch talking with a slow Southern drawl. Apparently The Griswolds' track "Mississippi" can garnish various insights as well, if in the hands of Magic Man.
The Griswolds have really been gaining steam with their infectious brand of upbeat indie pop found on their EP Heart of a Lion, while Magic Man has similarly been turning heads with their EP Everyday. Which is exactly why The Griswolds turned over the reins to their favorite Boston synth poppers.
"We we're already big fans of Magic Man when we were tossing around the ideas for a remix, we knew they'd come back with something great! Nothing could've prepared us for how much this remix would blow us away! It's better than the actual song," says The Griswolds.
Something great is definitely an understatement. Magic Man has taken "Mississippi" and thrown it in a huge glass of super sticky Southern sweet tea and given it a swirl. Replacing guitars and bass lines with a totally chilled out ethereal vibe and layers of synthesizers, this remix features a virtual canopy of sound that truly lets the vocals of the track shine in a way that the original just didn't allow. Magic Man has managed to tame the mighty river with a dose of slowed down Southern hospitality.
You can check out both bands next week at SXSW if you happen to be hanging out in Austin, sweet tea not included.
