The Submarines - remixes

Creo que no he hablado antes de ellos, aunque si que hubo intención de ello, pero supongo que era uno de tantos posts que voy acumulando. A ver si un dia hablo de 3 de Suecia, otro de los players, y otro de unas cuantas voces femeninas.
Ahora de momento con la excusa de los remixes -que me opino que están muy bien mezclados- hablaremos de The Submarines, y con ello ya tenéis bastante para leer, ver y escuchar por hoy.


Indie / Folk / Electronica

Los Angeles, California, United States

Componentes:
John Dragonetti (Jack Drag)
Blake Hazard

Sobre ellos -recogido en su MySpace-:
Blake is a girl from the cold state of Vermont. John was raised in the hot arid sands of Dubai. They met in Boston and made a record of Blake's songs. They then travelled near and far to play John's songs, and then Blake's again. At last the two moved our west to seek adventure, but sadly parted on a bleak November day. They wrote songs, each in their own place, about their dismay and unhappiness without the other. Their songs said things they hadn't said in person, and when they heard them--together--it all made sense. In fact, life made more sense together. After a while, and having realized this, they became The Submarines. Here is the record they wrote to each other, before during and after the sad days apart. There's hope and darkest things, there's peace and hate, even such modern inventions as the feeling of a brighter discontent. So, ready or not, clouds or sunshine, about this conversation between the two we vote yes!

REVIEW:
Declare a New State is the sound of a break-up. It's also the sound of a reunion. In "Clouds," former solo artist Blake Hazard (Little Airplane), the great-great granddaughter of F. Scott Fitzgerald, sings, "Tonight I won't be coming home." Then in "Hope," John Dragonetti, who used to record as Jack Drag, sings, "I should have known you were gonna drift away." The irony is that the making of their debut helped to bring the two Boston-bred, LA-based Submarines back together. Many songs were written separately and each takes the lead on different ones: Hazard on "Ready or Not," Dragonetti on "This Conversation," etc. Then, on "Peace and Hate" and "Modern Inventions," which combine Beach Boy harmonies with Eno electronics, they trade beautifully glitch-bedecked verses. Their voices are even processed so that they merge into one. Perhaps because they were reconciling while making the album, Declare a New State is neither dark nor depressing, but rather bittersweet and optimistic, an effect reinforced as much by the reflective lyrics--"We were writing songs to make ourselves feel better," Hazard has said--as the captivating instrumental choices, like Wurlitzer in "The Good Night" and viola in "Darkest Things." Significantly, the album ends with the words, "We're coming home." --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Mientras "Peace and hate" sería para relajarse -sin dormirse-, por ejemplo para disfrutar después de comer haciendo sofing. Su remix es para prepararse antes de salir de fiesta :)
Creo que a Mr Buzz esto se le da mejor ;)
