Eagles & Butterflies serves up the two final remixes of Coloray's Future Static album on Atomnation following previous efforts from Baril, Nadia Struiwigh, and Sam Goku.
Coloray and Eagles & Butterflies have history: they have collaborated twice before on 'Can't Stop' and 'Sinners' and have a great understanding of each other's musical perspective. They both like to bring pop influences, proper melodies and classy synth hooks to their grooves, with Eagles & Butterflies having done so on labels like Innervisions, Life & Death, Permanent Vacation, and his own Art Imitating Life before now.
'Face Of Value' (Eagles & Butterflies Sunrise Mix) is a sumptuous seven-minute journey. Twitchy stabs awaken the senses as retro chords bring light and the heavenly vocal layers bring some all-important soul. It's a zoned-out tune with a resigned but hopeful feeling that locks you in the moment. The original remix is more direct, with upright drums driving forwards through a more emotionally wrought vocal and synths that flash like lasers in the club.
This final package brings a final fresh perspective to Coloray's still standout originals of Future Static.
The Italian label Raw Culture is a force to be reckoned with & this album is proof of its powers, packed with subterranean industrial heat. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 29, 2023
