James Vincent McMorrow – Glacier (Atu Remix)

Singer/songwriter James Vincent McMorrow blew everyone away with his sophomore release of Post Tropical earlier this year. It was an eclectic mix of electronic and folk that drew explosive acclaim, with mandolins and trumpets paired against synthesizers and drum samples, all led by McMorrow’s delicate falsetto. But while Cavalier, the album’s only single, saw remixers chomping at the bit and catapulting it up the charts upon release, the other gems from the album (namely, most all of them) didn’t garner the same attention–until recently. Detroit bass beatmaker Atu managed a very tasteful edit of Glacier, pushing the tempo forward with a steady kit, embellishing the somber piano of the original, and keeping McMorrow’s airy tones rightfully at the focal point.
