Caroline - Verdugo Hills Remixes (Vinyl LP)

Features remixes by highly acclaimed artists such as Eluvium, Dntel, Mice Parade, Her Space Holiday, Manual, and more! Limited edition of 1,000 copies. RIYL: Björk, Sigur Rös, Múm, The Postal Service. Following the release of Verdugo Hills – the second album from Caroline, the Japanese electronic-pop songstress and Mice Parade alum – a slew of her peers graciously answered our calls for remixes and reinterpretations of every song from the acclaimed album. Not surprisingly, the results are more successful and less ephemeral than most remix albums – a testament not only to the ingenuity of the various remixers on deck, but also Caroline’s weightless, angelic vocals which transcend even the most jarring sonic manipulations. Along with Caroline’s bandmates in Mice Parade, remixers include: Eluvium, Manual, Dntel, Dead Waiter, Lumia, Her Space Holiday, Rory Vallis, Dan Lippel, and JNH. Additionally, the album comes with a free MP3 download code that includes a bonus remix by Doug Scharin of Mice Parade/Codeine/June of 44 fame.  //  “A beautiful experiment in minimalist pop arrangements and angelic vocals.” – Pitchfork  //  “Caroline’s voice is like nothing else out there, her sweet tones will wrap you in a trance that’s near impossible to escape.” – Indie Rock Reviews  //  “I have added Verdugo Hills to my list of favorite musical vacation spots, along with the evergreen pastures of Múm's Finally We Are No One and the glossy slopes of Björk's Vespertine.” – Hyphen
