This morning the internet provided a full stream of Yeasayer’s forthcoming Fragrant World, and now that very same internet caps it off with a little bonus remix by the band of a Gotye song that is not “Somebody I Used To Know.” The source track is the slick and smooth, tom-drummed drama-pop of “Eyes Wide Open“; the remix is more slinky than slick, also butter smooth but in a very different manner — chill-out lounge with deep bass, intermittent sympathetic sitar strings, and skewed synth/percussion patches filling in the holes in the polyglot groove. If there’s a Hollywood music supervisor out there looking for the perfect background track for when the hero walks into a high-end Asian fusion restaurant to meet his destiny, please take the rest of the day off because I just did your job. Hear it at Soundcloud.

Exactly. Not to get all “I like his old stuff better than his new stuff”, but if you look at some of the stuff he did before he blew up, you might hate him a little less.
for some reason, this seems to totally make sense…
