Indie electronic fusionists Pick a Piper get the remix treatment

Toronto-based electronic band Pick a Piper is re-exploring its self-titled debut album, releasing a remix of the original tracks as Pick a Piper: Remixes on April 7.


Band members and multi-instrumentalists Brad Weber, Angus Fraser and Dan Roberts gave their songs to an international roster of DJs for the project. Jeremy Greenspan (Junior Boys) takes the song "Lucid in Fjords" with its hazy, gauzy glory and echo-laden vocals by Ruby Suns' Ryan McPhun and hotwires it for the dance floor. Beats are generously added with keyboard flourishes and the occasional snare drum hit for accent. McPhun’s voice is reduced to whispers and looped hiccups. The results are sure to fill the floor.

Montreal’s ethereal bass duo Sibian and Faun (Milo Reinhardt and Xavier Léon) take the driving indie-dance rock and polyrhythms of "Once Were Leaves" and add a menacing tone to the opening, ripping the song apart with skittering beats and glitches. What was once a bright confection is re-rendered for the dark alcoves of the club.
