Death Cab for Cutie – Brothers on a Hotel Bed (BoS remix)
When I first saw the name of this track I thought “What? An electronic remix of a Death Cab track? No way…” For those of you who don’t know, Death Cab for Cutie is an indie-rock band.
This remix was executed perfectly by the electronica / DnB duo Bachelors of Science. I’m very impressed with this track, as they blended the indie rock song in with their drum n bass beats and ambient tones. The track has a very trancey and ambient feel to it.
What others have to say:
Bachelors of Science are two DJ’s from the Bay Area that are out to show audiences that Drum n Bass isn’t “all harsh banging booom tshh,” but can actually be soulful and worth sitting down to listen to. The duo just released their fourth offering, Warehouse Dayz, but recently they’ve been getting more attention for their clever remixes. Their take on The XX’s “Infinity” keeps the minimal vibe going, but varies the rhythm and keeps it more focused. My favorite BoS offering, though, has to be their genius remix of “Brothers on a Hotel Bed” by Death Cab for Cutie. The shimmery vocals, clean drums, and all-around dreamy feel turns a gem of a song into, well, a more polished gem. Listen for yourself, and head over to the band’s website to download Warehouse Dayz. – All Things Go
