“I’ve been sending you signals, the signals have never been seen, I’ve been writing you letters, but those letters never leave me . . . oooooooooooh, oooooooooooh”
Ahhhh sometimes there are songs that immediately strike a chord and this week has had two of them – first there was Animal Collective’s riotous Peacebone and now this which landed in my advance promo box yesterday . . . . the Hot Chip remix of Matthew Dear’s Don & Sherri is just, well, lovely. The original was, in comparison, clunky. Like most Hot Chip remixes it is a ‘cover’ with the lyrics resung – it is now rendered just so melancholy and, if I lived in the northern hemisphere it would remind me that Autumn had just started.
It is out in October.
