Almost one year ago, Young the Giant released their debut self-titled full-length album. With it came a whirlwind of publicity, including some
fantastic coverage from SPIN Magazine while they attended SXSW. From my perspective, it was quite an accomplishment for a band that went to high school in the same city as me.
It's only fitting then, that another product of Irvine, CA would come out to produce a remix of their song "Islands." Namely, the ever evolving Polaris at Noon, fronted by Jason Suwito. The end result is a beautiful rendition, featuring synth arpeggios that bring a mellow but slightly upbeat dynamic to a song that was originally quite minimalistic, and, well, depressing.
