Tune of the Week: Ben Howard - Old Pine - Everything Everything Remix

If you look back through old posts, you'll see that I love me a bit of Ben Howard (ok a LOT of), and I'm also a bit partial to Everything Everything (not to be confused with the Kevin Bacon phone network). This is a masterful combination of the two.

Old Pine is track numero uno from the album "Every Kingdom". Great track, great introduction to the album, sets the scene nicely. Click here for the youtube link, and click here for the Spotify link. Ben Howard's is the type of music you might listen to were you up for a nice chilling out session, it's acoustic, almost folk music. See here for my thoughts on "Only Love", same album as "Old Pine".

Which brings me to Everything Everything. They are completely NOT chilled out. They're incredibly eclectic. Check out my thoughts on their song "Final Form" from album Man Alive. They're more electronic music with synths but also incorporating traditional band instruments as well, like guitar and drums.

So I was a bit dubious about listening to this. But it actually really works. I can't stop listening to it! See what you reckon. Prefer the original? Or love this version? Or both?

Original or remix?

Original - why mess with perfection?

Remix - makes the original sound boring!

They're both equally awesome

Neither. :|
