Jens Lekman – A Summer in 3/4 Time

I maj förra året släppte Jens Lekman en liten mix kallad ”Summer never ends” och i dag kom det en ny mix. Denna gång heter den ”A Summer in 3/4 Time” och innehåller bland annat en remix gjord av Lekman själv, på Au Revoir Simones låt Shadows plus en hel del andra låtar.

Så här skriver Lekman själv på jenslekman.com:

I got the opportunity to remix my favourite song from Au Revoir Simone’s beautiful album Still Night, Still Light. While listening to the song I realised how nice it’d be to transform their straight 4/4 time synthpop into a whirlwind waltz or maybe a barcarole if you will. It took a long time to chop up all the syllables and the tiny tiny samples, but I think the result got the song into a whole swirling new direction.

While making the remix, my mind started working in 3/4 and 6/8 time. I started looking around for tracks in that time signature to make a mix, I wasn’t intending to but I couldn’t help it. It was all a big swirl. After a while I heard it everywhere. In soul ballads, in polyrhythmical african pop, in old movies. In the ocean waves tumbling in against the shore, in the beat of a lovers heart. One two three, one two three…

Här har ni en låt från Au Revoir Simones tredje album luftigt remixad av belgiska Aeroplane. Stundtals påminner den om låt till ett gammalt tvspel. Mysigt.
