After being twisted and turned by Tame Impala, today sees the release of ‘To The Island’ Unknown Mortal Orchestra Remix.
“Another artist we in Crowded House greatly admire is fellow NZer Ruban Neilson ( Unknown Mortal Orchestra ) . Ruban was willing and able when asked to dismantle our single To The Island . His remix has reimagined our song with swagger and grit and some glam overtones …we think it’s transformed in a beautiful way.” – Neil Finn
“It’s a really lovely song and there is this cool slightly menacing glam stomp to it so I ended up drawing more and more of that out until I was playing it really loud and distorting everything and it was really fun to do a variant like that. I think it goes without saying that it’s an honour but I’d feel like I missed the opportunity if I didn’t add that too.” – Ruban Neilson (Unknown Mortal Orchestra)
The To The Island Tame Impala / Unknown Mortal Orchestra Remix will also be released on 7″ vinyl via the band’s D2C store – pre-order HERE.
To The Island is the second single to be lifted from the band’s forthcoming seventh studio album, Dreamers Are Waiting, set for release on June 4 via EMI Music Australia. Pre-order HERE.
Crowded House is Neil Finn, Nick Seymour, Mitchell Froom, Liam Finn and Elroy Finn.
