Aloha drummer/composer/multi-instrumentalist Cale Parks has successfully stepped out on his own for a couple of full-lengths over the past few years, and this remix of Ra Ra Riot's "Dying Is Fine" comes in advance of his new EP of original tunes, To Swift Mars. The RRR reworking is a stand-alone project, and a stand-up one, too: Cale isn't interested in transforming so much as transferring the track's emotional and lyrical core, shifting verses wholesale onto a spare, affecting pastiche of electronic beats and keys. The hook nods to Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" in the bass and synth's mirrored melody (and tone), the ride out plies it all over a deep groove all stuttered and subdivided like. Good timing for Cale, but also good timing for Wes Miles; if you like hearing the lead Ra Ra Rioter's voice fronting something more computerized and beat-oriented here, take it as a tease for the impending release of his project with Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij, Discovery.Continue reading Cale Parks Remixes Ra Ra Riot...
