a friend of mine called it vocoder reggaeton. take that, “iconic australian rock voice”.
you can buy this as a b-side on the shiny disc version of paul dempsey’s ‘ramona was a waitress’ single. ha! and you thought the cd single was a dead medium. by the way, the first cd single i ever bought was “prick” by something for kate.

the rectifiers themselves make reconstituted pop music, taking sunshine sounds from disparate sources and fusing them together into careful meticulous arrangements of quasi-psychedelica. they are a good bunch of chaps.
for the remix, i added a cocktail umbrella and took my shirt off. this remix also features the shiel family piano.

Wow, man! Awesome! Congrats on scoring a remix on Paul Dempsey’s single. I’m really looking forward to hearing your new album. I’ve almost finalized my latest album, although I’m deliberating over a title for it. By the way, you owe me an e-mail or two… but I’ll settle for a skype chat, either / or. :)
Any chance of you putting up the touch remix they’re playing on transference?
that depends paddy, are you a rrr subscriber? subscribe and i’ll think about it…

that cat you mention – since when have you had a feline pet? you’re not referring to Soccer, are you?
Love the MWJ painting! Thanks for helping share his art to the world.
