Phoenix - Love Like A Sunset (Animal Collective Remix/Deakin’s Jam)
The Fader sez: “Head just exploded when reading title. So excited. Hipster Runoff will probably write a 3,000 word rant about how this song creates co-branded eternal bliss or something, but honestly, you should never be afraid to like a song, and we love this. The remix, as Deakin says on the Phoenix blog, is the result of mutual admiration and a subconscious association with marine life, and actually sounds like they might’ve recorded it together underwater.”
Okay, CRLS - let’s hear it!
“”Love Like a Sunset” took us two years to complete. It had endless possibilities and at the same time it didn’t exist. We couldn’t find a resolution. On the road from Versailles to Paris there’s these really cool 70s tunnels that are very rhythmical because the road and lights have a rhythm. We’d listen to Steve Reich in the car and we wanted to recreate this experience. And so we started really using the same patterns with our instruments, and it was just a nightmare because it’s really hard to do. I remember it was an Apple commercial— not to name Apple again— but this kid has a square and he has to fit it in the round hole and it doesn’t fit and then he just takes a hammer and destroys the thing and is super satisfied. It was like this, it wouldn’t fit forever— it was just really exhausting.”
Just saying.
