Silver Columns : 'Yes and Dance' Remixes
Released: Out Now!!!
Label:
So, despite Monachy’s real/ex-/whatever identity being revealed early in January, we still seem to have plenty of these “mystery” bands around in the ether. Namely, Feathers and this lot, Silver Columns.
Here they remix their own track, “Yes and Dance” into something dark and, well, slightly odd. Opening with a solid 4/4 beat an odd vocal and a slightly effected synth, they swiftly bring in a rumbling bassline and reverb drenched vocals flood in over the top as they bring in a mixture of effected melodies. Then suddenly, melding out of nowhere and peeling away slightly from the body of the song is an 8-bit melody straight out of a SNES game. Strangely though (or perhaps not so strangely, as the whole thing is a little eerie and weird anyway) it works fairly well before the whole thing collapses into a small electronic freakout and dies in a pool of shimmering bleeps.
The Weirdo Police take on the track is a little more straightforward with it’s looped synth line and piano dropping in at various, appropriate moments over vocoded vocals. We are treated to the first un-effected vocals around halfway through the track before it reverts to vocoder use before building to a panned riff which darts around your ears with a vague reminisence of New Order. Not a bad little package, and with it you can expect to hear a lot more from this mysterious bunch in the coming year.
