What their label says...
Short Road (Metal On Metal Remix)
Short Road (Wax Stag Remix)
Folk Rock (Bibio Remix) 1.
Lithuanian body building champs Metal On Metal, fresh from their victorious assault on Bloc Party’s ‘Flux’, take bits of the title tracks lead track and create a roid driven bundle of indie disco drama full of noisy riffs, vertiginous drops and driving basslines.
Wax Stag himself turns in a coolly paced electronic houser, with hints of 80’s boogie, lots of atmosphere and a fat, warm bassline holding it all together. Bibio’s take on ‘Folk Rock’ is a mix of 4 parts: the folky intro part, the swinging easy listening part, the psyche rock bit and the low slung hip hop outro.
“Magical 21st century Casio Muzak from St Albans , on this standout track from Hot Chips’ Dj Kicks compilation.” – Guardian. “For their glacial remoteness, you have the awesome Kraftwerk-esque ‘Short Road’ by Wax Stag.” – Resident Advisor. “Wax Stag’s ‘Short Road’ shimmers with glacial precision, and fun party moments” – Plasticsoup.com. “Wax Stag himself contributes a splendid 80s boogie refix.” – Slutty Fringe.
