a friend of mine called it vocoder reggaeton. take that, “iconic australian rock voice”.

you can buy this as a b-side on the shiny disc version of paul dempsey‘s ‘ramona was a waitress’ single. ha! and you thought the cd single was a dead medium. by the way, the first cd single i ever bought was “prick” by something for kate.

themselves make reconstituted pop music, taking sunshine sounds from disparate sources and fusing them together into careful meticulous arrangements of quasi-psychedelica. they are a good bunch of chaps.

for the remix, i added a cocktail umbrella and took my shirt off. this remix also features the shiel family piano.

    Wow, man! Awesome! Congrats on scoring a remix on Paul Dempsey’s single. I’m really looking forward to hearing your new album. I’ve almost finalized my latest album, although I’m deliberating over a title for it. By the way, you owe me an e-mail or two… but I’ll settle for a skype chat, either / or. :)
