Owen Pallett Lewis Takes Off His Shirt (Domino)
4/5
By: Jen Long
I’m going to be honest; I am completely in love with the album from which this single comes. Owen Pallet’s Heartland never fails to steal my breath with every listen.
‘Lewis Takes Off His Shirt’ is out now as a 12” featuring remixes from Dan Deacon, CFCF, Benoit Pioulard, Simon Bookish and Max Tundra. These type of releases can be quite hit and miss, especially when your starting track is almost as close to perfection as music can come (I told you I was in love). The Dan Deacon version doesn’t do much for me; I guess I was expecting more given his usual standard. However, the Simon Bookish remix was a really pleasant surprise.
While CFCF and Max Tundra take the track and apply their own idiosyncratic sheen and sounds, there’s just something about the Bookish working that I feel captures the essence of the track whilst still creating something fresh and individual. Definitely worth a search on hype machine at the very least.
