So many great remix’s have come from Phoenix’s Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, that they decided to release a Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix (Remix Album). The album consists of remix’s from the likes of The Soft Pack, Passion Pit, YACHT, Friendly Fires, Chairlift, and Devandra Banhart.
The biggest name on the list is Animal Collective. To be exaact, “Deakin’s Jam”. Nice to see you back Deakin!!!
The remix is really great
Here is what Dekin posted on wearephoenix.com talking about his connection to phoenix, and the remix:
This spring i was in Panama with Brian. We were cramped into a van on a bumpy, winding central american road going a little too fast. Feeling a little edgy, I put on my headphones and listened to United and Alphabetical back to back. I watched passing fruit stands, a sweet central american dusk and memories of the massive schools of jelly fish, snapper, and trevally; the few dolphin and even the few bluefin tuna (too few) that brian and i had just had the joy of diving with the blend of all of these things put me at ease.
Phoenix has been a staple for all four of us since Dave and Noah brought home United from the record store they used to work at. One of the records that would get us through some of those long cross country tour drives, we’ve listened to phoenix’s jams many many times. We were all totally psyched to get asked to do this and it was super fun to work on it.
All the best to those dudes
Animal Collective/Deakin really gave the song a nice spin, with some vocals that fit in smoothly. Download it below.
I also included the Friendly Fires & Neighbors Remix Feat. Devendra Banhart. Enjoy!
