The last time that Korallreven, those Sweden-based Balearic bliss mongers behind the Victoria Bergsman-featuring “Honey Mine,” excerpted a forthcoming mixtape of theirs with a promotional MP3, it was in fact “Honey Mine.” And “Honey Mine” was good! So, you know, hear this: Up until now, “Till The World Ends” has existed as a great pop exhibit on Dr. Luke and Max Martin’s uncanny ability to breathe life and urgency into the disembodied vocal of their puppet pop star, Britney Spears. (It also has existed as a SALEM redo.) Not saying Korallreven are operating on the level of the unattainable Luke/Martin axis (because who is), but they do recast it in their own mold: here, that’s airy, balmy synths with bold drums that bely urgency without detracting from said synths. It’s a good mold. (Also, Max Martin is also from Sweden. So, things in common.) It’s the first track from the Korallreven’s A Dream Within A Dream mixtape, which precedes a proper full-length. Grab:
Look out for the A Dream Within A Dream mixtape, and soon a proper full-length debut, from Korallreven, compliments of Acéphale.

Pretty sure guy on the right is in Radio Dept?
Kick-ass remix by Korallreven, those are some serious drum sounds!
I also like the diminishing of the obnoxious part of the song: the “wo-o-o-o-o-o-o-a-o” (which, for some reason, sounds a lot better in SALEM´s remix)
Damn guys, way to scare me with the headline. I saw this in the MP3s & Streams widget on the landing page* and was like “Goddamn, I got laid off today AND Stereogum is pimping Britney Spears songs now? WTF is the world coming to???”
*(where the fact that this is a remix is not visible)
That this site can give props to dr. luke and max martin is what sets it above pitchforkalor. This is cool but not near as titty as the original.
not a reply my bad sorry about you job btw.
No worries, and also, thank you!
Even the dopest track in the world would instantly suck with that voice on it. Ick.
