What we have here is the first in a series of remixes that of Cut Copy tracks that the band will be giving away for free, or as the band prefers to call them, “reinterpretations.” Upon listening you can understand why they prefer the latter terminology; rather than remixing the song to amp up its dance qualities, as most remixers would do, Architecture in Helsinki have turned the song into a much more laid back and really quite beautiful song.
Apparently Architecture in Helsinki aimed to reimagine the song as a classic Roy Orbison recording, and you have to take your hats off to them, they’ve done a fantastic job. If the rest of the reinterpretations are as good as this then we anticipate them eagerly.
