Au Revoir Simone – “Boiling Point (Todd Rundgren Remix)” (Stereogum Premiere)

2014/0       

  

Studio wizard Todd Rundgren has made a nice habit of remixing other artists in the last couple of years. Following a surprise Lindstrøm rework, his take on “Elephant” by Tame Impala was the best of the many remixes the band did. Now the psych-pop legend has taken on Au Revoir Simone’s “Boiling Point.” It will appear on the band’s upcoming remix EP, brightness/contrast, along with takes by Étienne Daho and David Lynch, among others. The original was a spacious and pillowy track, but Rundgren rebuilds it into a shimmering and dramatic counterpoint. Listen below and check out the dates for Au Revoir Simone’s tour with Broken Bells.

RUNDGREN RADIO AIRS TONIGHT 8:30PM ET! WITH SPECIAL GUEST PAT TRAVERS!

SPECIAL GUEST PAT TRAVERS ON RUNDGRENRADIO.COM TONIGHT TUESDAY 2/25/14! We're on a roll! Tonight, Tuesday 2/25/14 at 8:30pm ET at www.blogtalkradio.com/runt. Thinking back to his first concert experience, seeing none other than Jimi Hendrix live in Ottawa, Canada back in ’66, it’s no wonder that guitarist Pat Travers took the musical path that he did. Taking inspiration from some of the top players of the day, including said left-handed genius, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck, Travers had already made a name for himself in his teens before joining ’50s rocker Ronnie Hawkins’ band and hitting the road. While this may have been enough for many guitarists, Travers left Hawkins’ band after only a year, ventured out into the unknown and created twenty-five plus years of memorable music along the way. (Dr. Matt Warnock, Guitar International) Pat first performed with Todd on Saturday Night Live for the songs Healer and Time Heals. He recently performed with Todd again during the RR NYE 2013 event after starting the night with Pat Travers Band as support and then joining Todd onstage for a while.
